I handed over the camera to D and went off to feed the giraffes... or should I say giraffe. It was a particularly hot day out, Derek and I were both sweating and kept looking for shade to hide out in. All of the animals were hiding out as well. The first time we passed the giraffes the trainer was trying to feed them but they were not playing... sigh
On the way out we stopped by the giraffes again and this time they wanted to play or eat.
Hello everyone this is Rafiki, he is shy, I was told, so I walked up to him slowly (instead of excitedly, which I was)... His massive tongue grabbed the lettuce right out of my hand and gobbled it up.
This is my excited face!
Even though I did not get to touch the giraffe and I had to stay behind the barrier it was a fun experience and one that I am glad I got to do. Maybe one day I will feed a giraffe not trapped in a zoo... a girl can wish.
I am glad D snapped this picture because as soon as I fed Rafiki that last leaf he ran off to join his friend (who's name I do not know) and to find some shade. I don't blame you buddy.
I forgot to add these photos yesterday... I just couldn't leave them out.
This little turtle had the cutest face and I could not leave without first snapping a picture of him. Cheesin'

It was a fun day overall... I left hot and sweaty yet still fun.
