the Denver Zoo - 10th October

We went to the Denver Zoo today after school. We went with Kaiden's best mate Liam & his family. They are such a nice family. Really, we couldn't ask for a better friend for Kaiden. Just hope he doesn't corrupt Liam. Anyway, with all the exotic & amazing animals at the zoo, Kaiden yelled the loudest when he saw a bunny. Can you believe it! Well I could but still.

This photo was at the end of the day just before closing.

Kaiden, Jared, Harry & Liam

Nothing like an Oxen and covered wagon ride...that is really cute.

This is one of my favourite pictures . . . .

Kaiden loves his buddy Lica. Paul Licuria has been so nice to Kaiden that he really believes they are buddies. Lica has writen him a letter and recognises him when he's come up to say hello at training and functions. He even remembered Kaiden's bithday and asked him about it while at a Collingwood training session. For someone of his profile to give so much attention and time to a little kind and really make him feel like they are mates, is brilliant. It shows what type of man he really is. And for a mother there is nothing better than having your child feel like he really is something special.
Kaiden was devistated when I told him that Lica was retiring and wouldn't be playing for the Magpies anymore. If you think I am exaggerating, think again. He literally burst into tears and said "Why Mummy, why? He still plays really really really good" He only calmed down when I explained and said that he would still be around the club and he could see him at the VFL games. I had to promise that we would go to one of the VFL agames next time we are in Melbourne. I love that he is passionate about the Magpies. He has black and white in his blood. That makes me smile.
