Visiting the Jacks

Last weekend, the three of us made our way to Denver to visit Amy's sister Corene (and the rest of the Jack family). As always, the Jacks were wonderful hosts. Among the many things we did there, we visited the Denver Zoo, an attraction to which their whole family has year-long passes.

Lions are scary! Good thing there's glass between them and us!

Elephants sure are big!

I know who THIS animal roots for in sports. Go Rams!

In the (temporarily empty) penguin hut, there's an actual-size standee of an Emperor Penguin. Espen and Benjamin aren't quite the penguin's size yet. Congratulations, Nathaniel, on being the only kiddo bigger than the Emperor Penguin!

More photos to come!

Useless fact of the day: a camel's humps don't store water; rather, they store fat for the camel to use.
