Zack's "city" girl friend

Yesterday we had a spring-like day in Denver, and with my active little man, we decided to take advantage of weather and go run around the Zoo.

Sofi, Renee and Ofelia met up with us soon after we arrived. It has become quite challenging chasing Zack and Sofi and not leaving Ofelia behind. We ran around the feline exhibit then the polar bear area. But at one point we made a stop at one of Zack favorite spots by group of pine trees.


Z loves to hide behind trees and have me find him. At first Sofi was little stressed when Zack (aka "No, No" as Sofi likes to call him) would run off and hide from her but she eventually caught on.

Sofi is a city girl, she lives in a loft downtown, just blocks from Albert office. So when hide and seek became boring, Zack decided to show the city girl how cool sticks and pine cones can be.

At first Sofi thought it was silly to run around collecting pine cones. But once Zack gave her a few from his collection, she really got into it.


In fact, she wanted to have "all" the pine cones to herself. She grabbed as many as her little hands could hold then ran from Zack. Poor little man, is learning how hard women are to please.


They learned about "big" ones and "small" ones.



Of course, Zack got bored with pine cones as soon as we got Sofi interested. So he moved on to rock climbing.

Finally one brief moment with both kids together on rocks...
Even Ofelia had a good time, when she was awake!
