Television Star Genevieve

Grandma Carla and Grandpa Gene visited the weekend of November 12, just in time to celebrate my Mom's birthday.  On Monday we decided to go visit the Denver Zoo, since we still have a few weeks left on our Zoo pass.

We had a wonderful time - chilly weekdays are the best time to go, since nobody's there.  The animals are all curious to see who the heck has come out on such a day to see them.

But the most surprising experience came at the end of our zoo visit.  The Denver CBS station was taping "Colorado Review," a holiday special about local businesses and attractions.  We stopped by the zoo train on our way out to see if we could get a ride.  At first the conductor said he had closed for the night, but then he caught himself and said, "hold on - you can ride, if you can just wait a few minutes".

In the interim, the host of "Colorado Review", Kelly Ford, stopped us and asked if she could "borrow" our beautiful daughter to help her not look quite so lonely on the zoo train where they were going to tape her segment.



There was one other snippet of video featuring our own rock star.  Sorry the quality is much worse - I was not able to get a digital copy of it (yet):
