This place is a ZOO!!

Before I get started on our zoo adventure today let me first say that Jackson's surgery went well and he getting around as if nothing happened. We have learned that he will need another surgery in approximately 6 months to finish up. The doctor has decided to do a two step process to help fix Jackson's hypospadeous. For this surgery thye took a skin graph out of the inside of Jackson's cheek to help create a surface that will eventually become a tube. On the next surgery they will pull together all of the extra skin and create a fully enclosed and fully operational penis. I am just glad he is okay and like we all say it is better this is all done now instead of when he is a teenager.

Onto the zoo......

Today we went to the zoo and it was a zoo in more ways than one. This is really the first nice weekend we have had here in Colorado and we decided to hit the zoo with the kids. IT WAS A ZOO!!! A lot of people at the zoo today and I can say it was the first time I have been to the Denver zoo and had such a hard time finding a parking spot. We had a great time with the almost 80 degree weather!! Here are some pictures from our trip today......
