Quite possibly the bestest animal known to Micah-kind is the giraffe. I mean, which other creature understands the height and cadence of life better than this noble animal?
In late March, a couple of very good friends conspired with me to steal Micah away for the weekend. Our ultimate goal was to visit the Western Plains Zoo. They host a roar-n-snore there, which is basically an opportunity to camp at the zoo and go on a night tour of the grounds, then accompany the keepers for the morning round of feedings. So cool! We got to feed the giraffes! I haven't seen Micah's face light up with such glee since we first saw giraffes on our honeymoon.
This picture was taken while as we attended a giraffe snack time. Apparently, carrots are to giraffes what chocolate is to humans. Micah got to feed this particular lovely lady several carrots, and I think even got a little lick on his hand from her amazing blue tongue. I do hope we get to head out here again soon!
