Getting ready to go feed the giraffes.
This is the "savannah" part of the zoo where the giraffes, zebras and many other animals we were able to drive by live.
Zebras!!
Our first look up close at the giraffe. See Aspen and Journey's faces? They weren't so sure about that huge animal being right in their faces :)
This was the friendliest (and hungriest!) of the 4 giraffes they had there. They actually flew the giraffes in by 747's a couple years ago!
They are getting a little more comfortable...
They are such gentle animals. You can just see Aspen's head behind the giraffe's. He was finally okay with them being so close.
Petting it's long neck.
We were tired and hot after riding around for over an hour and a half looking at all the animals, but we had a great time and have hopefully made memories that will last a lifetime. At least for Aspen. We also got tons of videos of the giraffes. Where else can you interact with them like that?

Erika, what amazing pic's! that would be so crazy to be that close to them. What great memories for the kids. How are you guys doing in the heat? We Miss you guys.
We have become used to the heat and humidity for the most part. I was worried about how Journey would do in the heat at first, but she has done fine. We are making sure to drink lots of water :)
We miss you too and are looking forward to coming home. I hope Aspen has memories that last from this trip. We have done a lot of fun things.
