A few weeks ago Kyle took the day off so we could take Meredith to the zoo. Charlotte stayed home with Teresa so it was just "Meredith time". She loved the zoo. The elephants were one of her favorite animals. There were two baby elephants splashing in the water and throwing hay around.
When we got to the giraffes she got a huge surprise. She got to feed the giraffes! The zookeepers gave her lettuce to feed them. She held the lettuce out and the giraffes ate it right out of her hand! She absolutely loved it!
When we were leaving we passed the gift shop. Meredith said she thought she "needed" a stuffed giraffe because she got to feed a real giraffe. How could we say no to that? She played with it for five minutes in the car.
Then she fell asleep! She still sleeps with her giraffe.
Last week Kyle took another day off. We took Meredith to the children's museum and then out to lunch. She loved spending time with us doing just "Meredith things" no errands!
