{local love} the denver zoo

i don't know if you know this about me or not, but i freaking love zoos. so it's actually kind of surprising that we haven't made it to the denver zoo until now. we went this afternoon and it was amazing - the zoo was completely deserted. it was just us and the animals {and okay maybe like five other people but that's it}. it was so...intimate. we saw lions eating lunch, tigers posing for pictures, hyenas napping, the cutest arctic fox ever, a monkey eating snow, grizzly bears impatiently awaiting dinnertime. there was only one otter but that's okay because there was totally a polar bear.

p.s. we can officially cross this off of our colorado bucket list!
