365 Challenge- Day 3

January 3rd

As I said yesterday, I'm being a bit of an overachiever with the one picture a day. But today we had a blast at Fossil Rim drive through zoo. We were given no map of the zoo, so we really were just hoping that we would see some exotic animals because that's what the billboards show. After seeing deer after deer after ostrich after ram after deer (which were all very exciting at first,) Gary cracked me up (and the big boys) and asked one of the deer where the cooler animals were. 

Quickly after, we came to the giraffes. So amazing!! They came right up to us and practically kissed J when he was looking at the giraffe that L was feeding out of his hand. I pet one on the face. It was quite an experience. These were taken without a zoom lens.

 This is what the under side of a giraffe looks like. I wished we had a sunroof like a family a couple cars behind us. That would have been even better.

  They also had a petting zoo, which M loved. He said "hi" to every goat and went up to one and pushed it's two toes together. Then he accidentally stepped on one and got rammed (gently.) I don't think he really knew what happened. Daddy was right there to save him. The boys had a blast (and so did we!)
