The Living Desert

Yesterday we went to 'The Living Desert'.  It was H-O-T, so we spent only a couple hours there...but in that time it was hands down way cooler than the zoo in Edmonton.  The giraffes were a highlight for sure.  We were too late for the giraffe feeding but were able to get nice and close to them afterwards.  There was also a model choo choo exhibit thing that I'm sure Jackson could have stood at and discussed all day!  At the very end Papa and Jackson went on a camel ride...and Jackson is still talking about it!  Papa is too, but mostly out of pain!  It was fun.  It's so hot here that after a couple hours in the sun you have to find shade and air conditioning.  I can't even imagine what it's like in their 'summer season' as this is more than hot enough for us!

My first time seeing a giraffe this close...AH-mazing.
A PUMBA from the Lion King!!!
It's hard work being this little and carrying around these cheeks ;)
A petting zoo...with goats...and sheep...and that's about it!  He didn't care!  He loves animals!
Yes, that's ICE CREAM on his chin!  It was hot out, okay?!!!
I'm just so proud of him!  He's been so amazing on this trip...

The model area...'what that one's name?' is a frequent question around here lately!
 That's it - - - in a nutshell.
