The Giraffe's

On Monday we went to the zoo with Uncle Nick to see the giraffe's. It was a very hot day so we went very early. Our main motivation for going was to see the newest addition - the giraffe's. When I asked Will what he wanted to see first there was only one answer - the giraffe's.

Thankfully the zoo was not crowded at all. Shocking after the busloads (literally 40-50 buses a day) of kids we had been fighting for weeks. We headed straight for the giraffe's and there they were. 4 of the 5 newest members were hiding in the shade, not looking like they wanted anything to do with the throngs of people waiting to feed them.

After the giraffe's we went off on a comakazi type mission to see as many animals as possible. We went to places we had not been before (the nocturnal house) and to places we have been what seems like hundreds of times (the manatees). After a yummy picnic lunch we all got a special treat - ice cream! We petted the goats where Will's shirt got nibbled a little.

Then we headed home for a nice long nap. To quote Will, "It was a wonderful day!"
