Feeding the Giraffes

Mike and I are huge animal lovers so we don't mind entertaining Jack by visiting our furry little friends at the local Birmingham Zoo, so that is what our little family did this beautiful Saturday morning. We laughed because we were the only people in shorts/a skirt. All of the southerns were already sporting their fall gear. Too funny. I wonder when that will change for Mike and I?

We walked around all of the exhibits but my big highlight of the day was feeding the Giraffes!!!! I was so excited!!! For $1 you can stand on the platform during designated feeding times and feed these gorgeous creatures. Giraffes are my FAVORITE! I have always loved them, I love that they are tall and awkward yet beautiful and graceful in their own way. I told Mike this may have to be our Saturday morning tradition, Jack will grow up telling his kids that on Saturday mornings he went to go feed the giraffes.

After the zoo Mike treated me to an a few hours to myself!!! I went to the Summit Mall and did some shopping where I actually got to try on clothes. AMAZING. It was so fabulous bopping in and out of stores, taking my time, not having to worry about Jack pulling down the displays or crawling out of the dressing room. It was so refreshing and miss all of my guys when I got home. Next we headed down to the neighborhood tailgate and said hello to a few friends. We couldn't stay because I'm still not 100% what is going on with Jack. But it was fun to get out and say hello.

Fun Saturday and tomorrow we are off to the Pumpkin Patch:)
