Giraffe's really do have long necks

This is the direct quote from Noah while we were at the Woodland Park Zoo on Thursday over spring break. Sometimes, it is nice when four year olds point out the obvious. Giraffe's really do have long necks. Rebecca was out of town on business the last half of spring break, so the kids and I met my mom and my two nieces, Hannah and Astrid, and we went to the zoo. The weather wasn't half bad, which made it much nicer. The kids had a great time that day. Even though the animals were cool to see, I think they had more fun playing tag with each other while we walked from animal to animal.


One of the few pictures we got with the kids not moving around as fast. Thank goodness Hannah is old enough to carry Noah when he would get too tired. It's like having a little assistant. She enjoyed it.









We did get to see a lot of the elephants since it was morning and they had just been let out. I think the elephants were spending more time looking at the kids than they spent looking at them.









At one point, the sectioned the path off and moved two Giraffe's from their house to the open space. The kids thought that was great to watch. This Giraffe and his brother are two years old.










Astrid is always very good with her cousins. They love having one-on-one time with each of them. We had a great day and then Grandma ended up buying icecream for everyone to seal the deal. The kids were exhausted by the end of the day which is always a perk. We got home just in time for all of the kids to climb into bed.
