Giraffe Feeding

I think this may have been our favorite part of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo experience!  We purchase some {very expensive} lettuce bundles and stood on the elevated platform to be eye-to-eye with the giraffes in order to feed them!  The kids loved it!  Even Nehemiah got in on the feeding action this time.  It’s amazing how long the giraffe’s tongues are!

We all got involved in feeding – even Grandma, Uncle Wes, Daddy & Mommy!

Libs, Nolan, & Elaine

No…he didn’t really kiss the giraffe!

 
Nehemiah’s turn!  Everyone else wanted the extra lettuce I was holding!

I love these little painted finger nails petting the giraffe!

Henry got out of the stroller to see what was going on…

…and got kissed!

Nolan was uber delighted!

Wesley’s new girlfriend?!?!

I had fun too!

She couldn’t stop smiling!

Love this picture of everyone with the giraffe!

Anyone want a kiss?

Next time you come to Colorado Springs, be sure to go feed the giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!
