We visited the Blank Park Zoo here in Des Moines a week and a half ago. The zoo is experimenting with the option of visitors purchasing crackers to feed the giraffes.
Because it is "just an idea" we got to do it free. Man, those creatures have long, rough tongues. And, let me tell you, you just don't realize how tall giraffes are until you stand next to one. Seriously, it's head is bigger then Brenna!
