the zoo

grayson's auntie kim is one of the zoo keepers at the cape may zoo. our family vacation down the shore is wrapping up so we thought a trip to see the animals was in order.


because we are super awesome and have kim as our inside connection we got to go down and see the giraffes (and a few mentally challeneged ostriches- no joke about the mental part, they really do have problems). she took us through those special "do not enter" gates down to their pen and brought out food so we could feed and pet them. it was pretty awesome. one was even so kind as to lick my head. yummy. i think out of everyone my dad was the one who enjoyed himself the most. seriously, he was having way too much fun.


grayson slept the entire time and woke up just as we were leaving. that did not stop us from taking a million pictures. they were bent down next to his head sticking their giant tongues inches away from his face (for those of you who are freaking out about the germs dont worry we all scrubbed up after and grayson was not exposed).


this is about the time where i would post some of those said "millions" of pictures we took. the ones that i wanted to frame and put in his jungle themed room. but guess what. there was NO memory card in the camera. too bad. so sad.


very disappointing.


we did get to pet and feed giraffes at the zoo though so all and all it was still good. maybe we can go back another time to get those photos, and maybe he will even be awake for it this time.
