Always an Adventure at the Zoo

Well, for those zoo lovers there is a new exhibit at the zoo that we discovered this week. Feeding the giraffes! Little Man was so excited and he kept telling us how his friend fed a giraffe from a car and he wanted to do it too. We waited in line and received the specific directions, not to step past the line and do not pet the giraffe. Little Man had fun and would not pose for any pictures, so I managed to snap some from afar.

And of course Little Ax wanted to feed the giraffe too. I thought he would be nervous, but he pushed past me and took the biscuit and walked right up to the feeding line....

Next my desire was to have a picture with me and the boys, but the preschooler would not coooperate; so Little Ax and I posed for the camera while the giraffe sniffed our snack pack... that 18 inch long tongue made me a little nervous.

Another sight was the random peacock that was strolling around the zoo. Little Man was excited to see the peacock from a distance, but would not get too close. Although some of those feathers would look great on a headband! Maybe next time.

And the last adventure that I wasn't able to catch on film (thank me later) was the frisky baboons and their game of tag. I'm not ready to explain that lesson, so we quickly walked past that exhibit.
