giraffes .... again & again & again

We love taking volunteers to see the giraffes outside of Niamey. To be able to walk among them & be so close to them is indescribable. We would not do it so often if it weren't for having volunteers but we love it each time we go. It never gets old. And what other 16 month old can say they've seen giraffes in their natural habitat 5 times?! This is the first time she was brave enough to walk towards them. She just loves animals & especially her friends the giraffes!


She is SO excited to be back to see the giraffes again!


Trying to get a better look perched atop her Daddy's shoulders.


She was much happier walking by herself.


Not a great family snapshot but that's what you get when you have to do it yourself!


Taking a little rest from walking & trying to get out of the sun. Not sure what we were talking about but I'm sure it was pretty interesting ... as are all things with Izzy these days!
