Our first stop at the zoo was Predator Ridge—a new exhibit featuring the King of Beasts. The lions were sawing logs when we got there, but gave us a little show (ahem) later that afternoon. We enjoyed the sea lion show, and polar bears are always fun. Lots and lots of monkeys and apes. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and Alaskan Dall sheep are two animals we don't see that often. The girls used part of their "California Money" on Denver Zoo mist sprayer/fans—a great investment because the rest of our trip got nothing but hotter. We enjoyed the Denver Zoo, and touring it with our new friends Jill, Ashlyn and Lily made it that much more fun.
