 This is that bird that about took our heads off.

 This bird was pretty cool, they showed us how it eats with a fake lizard.  He took the lizard pecked at it's belly they took it over to a flat rock and repeatedly slammed it on the rock.

barn owl, brax was terrified it was going to get him.


DENVER ZOO!

Some of the wives here with edge invited us to go to the zoo with them today, Memorial Day, I was a little worried about the crowds. They were pretty busy but it wasn't awful and the weather was absolutely beautiful!  We got to see lots of fun animals. About 1 1/2 hours into our time there, the rest of our group said they were ready to go home. We weren't, so we stayed since I drove myself. We ended up staying another 2 hours. We got to see an exotic animal show, have a snack (giant pretzel), and take our time.

 Zebra's
 Giraffe's
 Tigers!
