Giraffe Encounter

This morning we had an interesting encounter- a giraffe encounter at the zoo. We took advantage of the beautiful 65 degree weather to visit our animal friends.  The purpose of going early was to take part in the giraffe feeding. Here's our family photo with the giraffe- he looks like he's about to eat Claire for breakfast.

They ate romaine lettuce and special pellet nuggets right from Lilly and Claire's hands. Here's a close-up with Mr. Giraffe and Lilly:

What a neat experience! We will have to try that again.

The girls also had a great time watching the tiger and lions. Here's a view of the girls trying to take a peek at Mr. Tiger while he cruised his enclosure.

As always, the zoo adventure ends with a spin around the carousel. This always brings the best smiles from both girls. Today Lilly chose to ride the zebra, and Claire defaulted to the jackrabbit.

We hope you had a great weekend too!
