Lions and Tigers and Bears ... and Giraffes!

On the Thursday of Rosie's Birthday Week it was her birthday and she had a very big day.  After her morning nap we went to the wonderful Portland Zoo.  As soon as I knew we were going to the zoo I started begging to see the giraffes -- my favorite exotic critter.  Rosie had no preference (or couldn't express it if she did) so Gus and Meara agreed we would go to the Africa section - they hadn't seen that part yet so this decision was not just to appease Gromma, though I would likely have pouted otherwise.
