Another trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo!  

This time, we got to feed the giraffes. They have an observation/feeding deck and for a couple of bucks, you can buy special giraffe biscuits and hand them to them. They stick their huge black tongues out and roll them around your hand, removing the biscuit. Dixon LOVED it and didn't want to leave.
