Meet Jerry Giraffe

Robin and I brought the kiddos to the Baton Rouge Zoo and had a lot of fun! We saw all the usual animals elephants, monkeys, rhinos and so on but the best part was the giraffe exhibit. They have a huge cement trench around the gated area but this one giraffe (who I so lovingly named Jerry) was standing in the trench right along the gate and leaning his loooong neck over and eating out of our hands!

Robin brought some grapes and apples for the kids to snack on so we tried to feed them to Jerry and he wasn't to fond of the grapes but he definitely liked the apples (we figured since it was fruit it would be safe to feed it to Jerry, but if you heard about any giraffes getting sick at the BR Zoo it wasn't our fault! If Jerry did get sick it was probably because of the guy next to us who tried to feed him potato chips!) Jerry definitely made our zoo trip worthwhile, too bad Greyson was asleep the whole time! Check out Robin's blog for some video!
