Binder Zoo

My most favorite animal in the whole world is a giraffe. I am just amazed by them, their size, their pattern, their beautiful big eyes with such long eyelashes, their gentleness. Everything about them, is extraordinary and beautiful. I have been dying to feed one and I got my chance this summer at the Binder Zoo in Battle Creek.









Look at that tongue!!!

A giraffe does not have top teeth, 
so you can feed them,
 and don't have to worry about being bitten.
 I never knew that! 
They have very soft lips and a long tongue. 
It feels so cool!






Perfection!

Elijah didn't want to feed them,
💓💓 but he loved to pet them!



Jimmy was not afraid of the giraffe. 
He was afraid of falling into their exhibit.
Jimmy didn't fall in but Caleb's glasses did!


The zoo helper was prepared for such events and retrieved them with a long pole. 😂😂



The zoo has no elephants but we got a kick out of this one!



This was so cool and true to size.

He loved it for a few seconds and right after this pic,
wanted down. LOL

Caleb looked awesome as a tiger!

We saw this amazing creature too!

Jimmy went into this little house when we weren't looking,
 and we couldn't find him. LOL


This tortoise weighs 600 lbs.





Everyone had so much fun!

Yogi Bear & Jellystone Camp Ground

This year we finally got to attend the Reece's Rainbow Family Reunion. It was held at Mammoth Cave Yogi Bear camp ground in Kentucky. We stayed in a cabin that was so cool. (I have many pictures to post.) The cabin had a loft and the smurfs slept up there while Jimmy and I stayed in. We met Andrea and Reece, and several other families that have adopted children with special needs from all over the world. We missed a couple events, because Caleb got sick on Sunday night, but the boys had a blast and we are already planning to go next year!
Very cool form, dude!

Um, not so much! 😁

The water was so warm!




Elijah wanted nothing to do
 with the big stuffed bear. 😆😆


My loves

Of course, Jimmy sang Friends in Low Places!
