Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak
On Saturday, it was raining in the mountains, so we decided, instead, to have an urban adventure in and near Denver's City Park. Our adventure began at the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Toys, and Dolls, a place we have wondered about for some time. I would say that it comprises primarily miniature sets - miniature houses and models or real and fictitious places. We then walked around City Parks trails and ponds. The Denver Zoo is located in City Park. After several hours in the park, we took a break for an inexpensive burrito and a drink. At the end of the evening, we returned to City Park to watch the light and water display at the recently renovated fountain in City Park.

A charming statue - try to ignore the missing feet.

Me, The Denver Zoo.
Watching animals.
This is how this guy/lady eats!

Big yawn. This guy was sleepy.

The newest member of the zoo - the baby giraffe, not Steve!
When given the chance, we see who the real animals are.I'll give you a hint: It's not the peacock!
Can you find the zebra?
Polar bear paws. Polar bears lay down splayed out like this on the ice to cool off.
The Thin Man, a narrow neighborhood bar near City Park.
City Park fountain, a nice end to the day.
