Friday morning, as many people were hitting the black Friday sales, we were headed to the Denver zoo to meet up with the Sanderson family. The warm weather continued and according to the car, we were in the low 70's before the day was done. The news claimed it only got to 68 but even that was pleasant for November.
Oliver is at such a fun age for the zoo. Every time we go it is more and more exciting. He was fired up to see the elephants and hippos this time. He made a few comments about the monkeys but they weren't the stars of his show like the animals of the pachyderm exhibit.
In mid sentence, Keith and Oliver are telling me about the elephants.
Another thing that Oliver gets excited about now that he's getting older is a ride on the zoo train. Typically, either Keith or I ride with Oliver. This time it was a full family event. According to these pictures one could argue that Mom and Dad were a little more excited than the two-year-old.
All through the ride Oliver would say hello and good-bye to animals and things that passed by. He also handed out big waves to people standing on the side.
As we walked past the hippo, he was just getting in the water. We had to stand by to watch for a few minutes to see him poke his head out now and then. Oliver loved the hippo!
