On Sunday we went the zoo because it’s finally cooling down (only 89 instead of 95!). We rented a quad bike again because I wanted to feed the giraffes, and the walk to the giraffes is about 1.5 hours – and then you have to walk back down to the exit! It’s much quicker on the bike and Jack loves to sit at the front. He’s up high so he can see all of the animals this way.
He loves looking at the fish. You can hear him say “fish” over and over!
The giraffe feeding station opens at 11 am, and we got there at 10:45 because the lines are usually long. It’s a good thing we were early because they opened it early in hopes to beat the rain. We were first to feed the giraffes! As we were walking down the ramp it started to POUR! We stood under the shelter at the bottom of the ramp for about 20 minutes, but we still got pretty wet! I’m bummed we didn’t get any photos of us because we looked funny. But, Jack didn’t mind and we just waited until it slowed down and got back on the bike.
Here’s a video:
And some photos:
Notice it’s black tongue wrapped around the lettuce!
Giraffes are so cute! I wanted to pet it. (The “I Love Florida” strap around Gerry’s neck had the key to the bike!)
And finally, Jack on the front of the bike looking like a stud! The humidity makes his hair really curly!




Wow, we loved the one of Jack saying Fish, as it was the first time we’d seem him WALKING!!! Brilliant!
By the way, Look at my Facebook to see a video of Olivia in her Jumparoo. I added the music later actually, but it seems to fit! Look out Darcy Bussell!
