A visit with cousin Carter

We decided to go to the Santa Barbara zoo. We met at Christine's place in Ventura. I don't think Carter was too sure about me at first, although Orion jumped right into the plastic pit. As usual, the rocks at the zoo prove more interestin than the animals.
So cute! These lemurs were all snuggled up together.
Mandatory elephant picture
And mandatory penguin picture.
Zoinks! Not another train ride. This was pretty cool, though, because as we were passing some plants off to the side I hadn't even noticed, Orion started shouting, "Cactus!" It really is amazing how much kids pick up.

Awww, and although it looks like Orion is dragging Carter, they were actually walking down the path like that for a few minutes.
Highlight of the day for sure! You get to feed the giraffes at this zoo. We had to wait in line for a bit, but it was worth it! Here is our first preview as we got to see people ahead of us on the platform.
Looking like he is giving Carter the raspberry haha. He was not so sure about the giraffe either. And I had no idea they had such LONG tongues! Guess it makes sense.
Case in point. Crazy lizard tongues! If you look closely at this picture, you will see the biscuit in flight right by Orion's head! He missed that one and we had to try again.
"There you go, hungry giraffe."
This has got to be one of my all time favorite pictures. This was the guy next to us, but I just happened to catch a great shot. So funny how their lips pout out!
