Dec 29, 2010 snowstorm

We had a snowstorm come through Thursday. While the weatherman did predict accumulation, I don't think we expected it to get bad so quickly. I made a quick trip to the store when it first started and took the camera with me...

Seven Falls Holiday Lights

After the zoo, Mac and I went to Seven Falls. Neither of us had ever been there before and thought it would be a great time to see it.

Electric Safari at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Last night Mac and I went to see the Electric Safari at the zoo. It was cold and a bit windy but well worth going out.
