Feeding the Giraffes

October 11, 2011 By 8 Comments

Kids are FREE at the San Diego Zoo for the month of October.  So my mom and I took them down this past weekend.  We had THE MOST fun!  Something new that they are offering is the chance to feed the giraffes.  For $5.00 you get 3 biscuits (they look like dog treats!).  We spent half of the day at the giraffe exhibit waiting to buy tickets, then waiting to feed them, the actual feeding took about 30 seconds.  But it was so worth it!

Gabriel and Nathan were nervous at first.

I’m so bummed that I didn’t get Anthony’s face in this picture.  He was grinning so big.

So excited!

Have you ever fed giraffes?  I actually got to feed some on a tour at the San Diego Safari Park a few years ago and I couldn’t wait to take my boys back to do that with me (they have to be 13 I think).  So it was a real treat to get to have the experience at the Zoo.

Proud Owner of Two Three Year Olds!

Sorry I have been completely MIA this weekend.  We have been going going going for the last 3 days and finally this morning I was able to sit down and go through the 122 pictures that I took.

Saturday, May 9th, the little brothers turned 3 years old!  Happy Birthday to my little men!!  I can’t believe how fast time is flying.  You may have read about our Super Mario Brothers Birthday party that we had last weekend.  Hmm..now that I think about it, I never actually went through and shared pictures of anything but the cake.  Bad mommy!  Anyways, this weekend we took the boys to the Zoo along with grandma (papa’s leg was hurting, so no walking for him).  It was a beautiful day and we had a blast.

I think the best part of the whole day was going through the lizards, snakes and other reptiles.  We were in that section during the 2 hours of sunshine and they were out in force.  Of course, the boys LOVED them.  It was cool.  I’ve never seen all the lizards and turtles so active.  I took a lot of animal pictures and I don’t usually do that.

As always, I have a ton of pictures to share.  Here first, are my little men on the day (after) they were born.  Everybody say “Awwww!”
