Brevard Zoo Part 2

This morning (Monday) we went to the zoo so we could catch the giraffes and the rhinos. When we went last week, the giraffes and rhinos were nowhere to be seen. We usually get there early in the morning when they are hungry, so we left right after breakfast to feed the giraffes. Lauren is feeding a giraffe for the first time. She was a little timid, but she didn't cry. We even got to pet the giraffe and she loved that! Will loved feeding the giraffes and here he is feeding Melvin, the baby giraffe. Melvin is now tall enough to eat the crackers and he was so excited to feed him. We remember when he would come around with his mommy and he is getting so tall! I love this picture of Grandma with the two kids. They were feeding this giraffe and then some other people began feeding it. I got some great pictures of the giraffe right next to them as he was reaching for the food. Will actually reached out and pet the giraffe right below it's eye.


We rode the little train around the zoo. We saw a lot of the animals this time and it was so much fun. You could reach out and pet an ostrich (if you were brave enough....) and we got to see the giraffes and rhinos again. Both of the kids enjoyed the train ride.
