Giraffes in the desert


Before heading to Seattle for the holidays, we went to the Palm Springs area for our first official family vacation. The weather was on the cool side and no diaper-aged children were allowed in the pool, but we still had a great time. We enjoyed eating at some great restaurants, relaxing, and shopping, but the highlight of our trip was a visit to the High Desert Zoo.

Ryan and I had the opportunity to feed a giraffe (one of his favorite animals). The only downside of the day was when Mike was putting Ryan up on his shoulders and he threw Ryan into a native African tree that had gigantic thorns. Luckily, no blood was drawn, but Ryan was continually ducking when he got close to any tree!
