Giraffe Fun

I went with a volunteer group from base to help out at the local zoo.  I honestly thought we were going to be picking up trash or sweeping the pathways.  I did not expect to be with the animals.  But I got to help the lady who takes care of the giraffes.  Meet Minato.
I basically cleaned up poop in the three giraffe enclosures the majority of the time.  It was kind of fun because Minato was there watching us.  Once we finished we got to chop up the food and feed him.
It was pretty cool.  I quickly fed a giraffe at the zoo before but this was different.  I really got to pet him and spend time with him.  I really enjoyed it.
After we were done we had a little bit of time before our group went back to base and so I got to explore the zoo on my own.  

It was such a different experience without kids.  The whole thing felt so small.  
It was a nice day.
