Denver Zoo

Biajee and I became official members of Denver Zoo yesterday.

Our GPS mapped out a route for us to drive from our home to Denver Zoo that takes less than 20 minutes. We had to pass a very deteriorated neighborhood that we had never dreamed of though. Arnold's entrance to the zoo is free till he is 3 years old. Biajee and I will each have to pay $11 if we buy the one time ticket. The annual membership for the two of us is only $55. We figured we'd go more than 3 times in a year.

Biajee had Arnold in the child carrier in the beginning, but it later turned out too heavy for him. We took turns holding Arnold while exploring the zoo.

The most impressive scene is when they feed and wash the elephants. Mimi and Daly are the two female elephants there who have lived there since 1961. They're 48 and 38, weigh 10,000 lbs and 8,000 lbs. After being washed thoroughly, they usually go put mud on their body, which acts as a sun screen and bug repellent since elephants have sensitive skin.
