Secret Magical Adventure!

All week I have been telling Soph that I was going to take her on a secret magical adventure on Friday morning when the boys were in school. Today was the day!!! 
We dropped them off and headed out. 
We got directions from one of my friends on this secret little forrest attached to Chalco Hills Recreation Area that had fairy houses along the trail. 
Here they are if you would like to check it out too: 
Secret Magical Adventure
Go in the north, Giles street entrance.
At the first stop sign soon as you enter, take a right.
Go until you reach the next stop sign and go right again.
Follow the road and at the first right you come to, take that right.
Follow that road to the very end and you will see a picnic table and trees.
You enter the small Forrest there.
The treasures are hidden so you have to be on the look out!!
They are off to the left and right paths.

I knew Sophie would like this little adventure for just the two of us!

We found it!!

 Love the little wooden stepping stones!








 We found 7 total. 
 Had to take a few picts.
As we were leaving we saw some deer sitting amongst the trees just taking in the morning and looking around. 
And we were off to our next date - day stop.

Freezing Zoo Trip

The sun was shining and it 'looked' nice out, but man that icy wind whipped right through us! Since we arrived at the zoo 5 minutes after it opened, we got a pretty close parking spot, but even that walk was bitter. 
 We were waiting in the 'bug building' for our friends to arrive. 

 Field Mice taking a morning spin.
 Sting rays
 Jim and Ani got there shortly after we did and also had another friend from Sophie's class Amilia! Sophie was excited to see her friends.
 LOVE this!
 Mr. Snake
 Orange-eyed lizard

 Off to the Jungle

 Jumping in!

 Silly girls were acting like they were swimming with the Penguins. 
 Ronan loved the dome. Vollen not so much. I think he felt like he was going to fall in or the penguins were going to get him! 













 My fav!





 These so reminded me of Slimey off Sesame Street
 Cute girlies!





 Catfish




 The waterfall was icy.







 Well, hello!
 What cha' lookin' at?
Fun day of memories!
