A Dream Come True!

D loves giraffes!  2 years ago we went to the National Zoo and she talked about seeing the giraffes for weeks before we went.  As soon as we got to the zoo we asked to see the giraffes.  We quickly found out there are NO giraffes anymore!  She was heartbroken.

So today we made her dream of seeing live giraffes come true.  We went to the Richmond Zoo which has several giraffes.  Not only did she see them, she got to feed them!









We learned giraffes have dark purple tongues to keep them from getting sunburned.  The tongues are rough and the giraffes like to lick.  S wasn't sure about the whole long tongue and squealed with frightened delight whenever the giraffe took the food from his hands.  D couldn't stop smiling and will probably talk about this trip for the next year.  Great memories made today!
