Guess what we did today?

At the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, you can pay $2 for a small leafy branch to feed the giraffes. And it is so totally worth it. We were close enough to make out the individual hairs on the giraffe's head. It was so cool.
This was Colin's first trip to the zoo since he was old enough to recognize animals. He was very excited. I wish I'd gotten a picture of him crouched next to a mesh fence with a crane crouched close to him on the other side, as they squawked companionably at each other.
He was impressed by the snowy owls, the giraffes, the chimps, and the elephants. ("Eleph! Eleph!" Who knew he knew that word?)

If we can't do that here, we're coming down there.
