Item A) Feeding a giraffe!
I mean really, how cool is that! We've been many times to our zoo and never saw anyone standing in the 'feeding' area. I assumed there was a standing lawsuit after a giraffe bit off a finger or something and they had to temporarily suspend all feedings. But nope, here we were walking over about 2 minutes before they opened it for a short session. We were 4th in line and I couldn't hold in my excitement to
Item B) Live Fawns 10 Feet Away!
We've all seen deer in the wild, and maybe you've seen tons of fawns too, but have you ever been 10 fee away from a fawn? When Mimi and I took Drew to the zoo Friday morning it was nice and quiet with not many people around. We ended up on this side path that was more like a nature walk when we spotted them. At first we just saw the mom, but then a few yards back down trotted two fawns that were simply adorable. They really did get within 10 feet of us!
Lastly, but not really crazy exciting, we rode the little train around Australia in which we had not done before! Thanks again Mimi for the fun at the zoo, but more specifically for Drew's TWO new stuffed animals!
My husband and I went to the miami zoo and I fed the giraffes! It was so scary but so fun at the same time! haha They were licking my arm!! Looks like you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteOh man, giraffes are the coolest. Me and my husband went to Florida and fed them at Busch Gardens in '09 and then this year we took Natalie to a safari thing 3 hours from us and fed some. The first time was the coolest because we fed them lettuce like you did. Second time wasn't so cool because we fed them some dog food like stuff out of the palm of our hands and they kinda nibbled on us which really hurt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had fun and Drew liked it.
We love feeding the giraffes at our zoo! Well, I love it :) But we don't have the fawns, that is so adorable! Makes me want to go to the zoo!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I've never seen this done before. What zoo were you at? His face is so cute while feeding the giraffe!
ReplyDeleteWe get to feed giraffe at our zoo too, and it's probably my favorite part about it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had another successful zoo trip!
