It's a jungle out there!

A few weekends ago my mom and I took the girls to the drive thru safari near Glen Rose. It was very warm, but there was a little shower while we were there so it cooled things off. The girls loved throwing food out to the animals.....in fact they loved throwing food out to the grass! At first, they had a little trouble getting the food out of the car, when we ran out of food all we had to do was look on the floorboard and dashboard. :)

The girls favorite part was feeding the giraffe. A baby had just been born.......it was amazing to watch the mother and the baby interact. The girls just loved the fact that the giraffe was so "personable". He came right up to us....stuck his head in my window and then through the sunroof. The girls were standing on the console with their heads out the sunroof....so the fact that they were able to literally kiss him was exhilarating! While the giraffe was eating the food we gave him, a big string of drool came leaking out of his mouth, into the car and down the side of Grace's face. She let out a knee slapping, belly laugh! She still talks about it! Faith was a little unsure about the fuzzy things on the giraffe that kept tickling her.....(his whiskers)!

After we out stayed our welcome with the giraffes.....(the people behind us started honking....but a little horn doesn't stop a mother of very happy twins)....it started pouring!!! The rain moved the animals. We watched herds of them run across the land....it was an amazing sight.

This was definitely one of my favorite adventures with my mom and the girls!
