Feeding the Giraffes

The boys were super excited to feed the giraffes at the zoo - until we got right up there and Cabot noticed their heads were almost as big as him. He was a little nervous at the time, but when he tells the story he says the giraffe licked his hands and fingers and it was funny. So, in hindsight, he wasn't nervous at all. (= And Riley is such a big boy he fed the giraffe all by himself! Both boys had a lot of fun checking out the animals - Cabot helped Riley make a list of all the animals they wanted to see in the car on the way to the zoo, and Riley checked them off of the list as they saw them. Very cute! And of course, Cabot thought the giraffes were named Melman and the Zebras were named Marty. You all know his fascination with the "Madagascar" movies. He was very sad there was not a Gloria (Hippo) or an Alex (Lion) at the zoo. But he quickly got over that and enjoyed the day with his big brother.
