Feeding the Giraffes

On Saturday we all (my sister and her family, and William and Catherine and me) to Marine World, now called Discovery Kingdom. We have been a number of time since William's first birthday. One of the highlights of going here, at least for us, is the opportunity to feed the giraffes. Here is a picture of William feeding the giraffe. Even though we are holding his hand, you can tell by his smile that it isn't because he was afraid of the giraffe. He was waving his hand all over the place and the giraffe was having a heck of a time getting his piece of kale.

Fast forward a few years, now we are here for William's 8th birthday and he still has no problem feeding the giraffe.


Catherine certainly does though. It IS a little scary to hold your hand with your piece of kale (or apple or carrot) out there and have this l-o-n-g tongue come snaking toward you to snag the treat.




Here's the funny part. We tried and tried to get Catherine to feed the giraffe, if only for the photo opportunity. No way. The next day she was describing the activity to her mother and announced that after the first time when she was scared, after that she fed the giraffe. Bald faced lie. But, according to Alexandra, she really believes that she did feed the giraffe.
