Giraffes or really big dogs?

Have you ever fed a giraffe? Our friends invited us to go to the Cheyenne mountain Zoo with them, and we got the chance. It was an unexpected little treat, I mean a fun oppertunity. I was amazed that the giraffes' long purple toungues didn't take off a finger somewhere. I heard a couple squeals, but no missing appendages. Our girls got a real kick out of it. There were even some little baby giraffes, ok, big baby giraffes. I was really surprised how nice the zoo was, I expected something a lot smaller because of the location. We are planning on returning, because we didn't get a chance to see it all, so anyone that would like to join us you are more than welcome.....

The girls chased the peacocks around the park. Don't worry it's not a real bear
