Giraffes

We extended our holiday weekend on Monday by taking Emerson to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. It was ridiculously hot, but we all had fun nonetheless - Grant was even a trooper and slept through the whole afternoon. The main attraction this year at the zoo are the baby giraffes - you can even feed them. Emerson had a great time!! Notice the exposed giraffe teeth.....a bit exciting and scary at the same time.

On to the big giraffe with a long slobbery tongue.

Most certainly the best $2 I've ever spent on lettuce.

The children's petting zoo - making friends with a goat (and plenty of hand sanitizer to follow).





Emerson made several decent attempts to make friends with this peacock by chasing it trying to "see it". No such luck, the peacock wasn't interested.
