It was a beautiful day in Houston, so we went to the zoo with Grandpa. The giraffes were hungry ......

Great pictures!!! Looks like a fun day!

Aw, great picture!

I love giraffes and your little guy reminds me of when my son was little. Sniff, I so miss that.

Goodness, he was brave, those tongues are LONG. Great pic.

Boy, that's some tongue on that giraffe! It's about as long as your DGS's forearm.

Giraffes' tongues are up to 18". (NATGEO channel) I love giraffes too! What great pictures! Thank you for sharing them!

Looks like a fun day

What causes double posts? I swear I only hit enter once!

Ooooh....are you allowed to feed the animals at your zoo? How cool! ..... great pics. Thanks for sharing ....

Quilting is fun -- but it sure gets pushed to the back seat over grandparenting, doesn't it! .... enjoy .... give that cutie a hug from all of us ....

The zoo has certain times that they will permit feeding only certain animals. You can only feed them what they sell ($5 for 3 romaine lettuce leaves). Feeding time is strictly monitored. You get the leaves just before you are allowed in the raised & gated area, you can't touch or tease the animals, and you need to move along after you have fed them so another person has a chance.

We've never been lucky enough to be there at the right time for this. It was absolutely perfect! Ezra loves the zoo and giraffes were his first favorite animal. He did great!!
