Jadeyn and I constructed a snowman from spare parts from the yard and hot tub toys: swim goggles, paddles, rocks, swing set steering wheel, etc!

Snowy last day of January
We got a nice dump of snow today! Wow! I shoveled 3 times to keep up with it and made a perfectly big pile for a sledding jump! When Kevin got home we played out in it and pulled Jadeyn up and down the driveway and over the big pile!

A Day At Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.
What a place to create memories! We told Jadeyn that we would leave early to get there when it opens. Sure enough, 6:05am rolls around and he comes bounding in the room saying: Do you guys remember where we are going today, time to get up! Fun. So we made hot chocolates and toast and piled in the car by 7:15 and made great time getting to the Springs and walked into the zoo right after it opened. Nice. This Zoo is amazing. Its quite hands on and very up close and personal with the animals. The first section we had to go to of course was the giraffes! The wooden walkway was elevated and circled the giraffes so we could walk along beside them right a their head level. In most zoos you really can't appreciate the beauty of these animals and really can't grasp just how tall they are. Here, you can look them right in the eye. We bought some lettuce pieces to feed to them. Hold out some food and out comes the dark purple tongue to wrap its way to your hand and slurp it up! Jadeyn practically squealed and dropped the lettuce a few times! So fun. Just take a look at his reaction!

Ice Skating!
Ahh, the first time ice skating..the slips, the slides, the crashes, the laughter! We had a blast! When we all three stepped out onto the ice, we had decided that we would try it with Jadeyn not using one of the "walkers." Well, about 10 minutes later, after we had circled only once, we decided to rent the walker. Great decision. And, as a bonus, it gave us grown ups a chance to go slow, hang onto the walker, I mean, our kid, and remember how to skate again! Tons of fun. After about 30 minutes of walker time, we tried it without and were quite impressed with Jadeyn! So fun!
