Boise Zoo

What a beautiful day for the Zoo! Today has been a wonderful and sunny day, perfect weather to get outside and explore. That's just what Katelyn did today at the Boise Zoo. It is not a very big zoo. All the parking out front is 2 hour only parking, and we now know why. That is about as long as it takes to get through the whole thing and not miss a single animal. But lucky for us, we spent almost 4 hours there!!! It has been a goal of Dana's to feed a giraffe. (for those that don't know, Dana has a giraffe obsession) Looking online the feeding time was to be from 10:15 to 11:30. So the smart people we are we get there at 10ish to make sure we can do it. Upon entering the park, we find the time has been moved to 1:30. I think we ended up wandering the park about 2 times before 1:30 came around. But Dana can now mark that off her list, and so can Katelyn. She is only 13 1/2 months and she has already fed a giraffe and a goat! Off to a great start. It was an altogether fun day though and we are glad we went. 



It all happens so fast it's over before you know it.

I don't think she realized what has happening til her hand was engulfed in giraffe tongue and the lettuce bit gone.



Maybe Andy and Katelyn belong here? Those crazy animals!

    1. Yeah Katelyn and I did. It has been on my bucket list for a while! I love giraffes so much! Their tongues were so long! It wrapped completely around Katelyn's arm.

  2. do you have a zoo pass? That is the cool thing to have here in Denver and I was wondering if it was the same there. I love the picture of them in the hole- Katelyn looks like she really liked the animals.

    1. No we don't have a pass. We wanted to get one earlier this year but I don't think we will end up getting one. This is the first time we have made it to the zoo. Its just the right size zoo for Katelyn which is nice. It takes about 2 hours to get through the whole thing. That exhibit was really fun. I think that was Katelyn's favorite.
