into the wild (or happy halloween)

On October 31st, Austin and I had the unique opportunity of visiting a special zoo where they house the world's smallest and most adorable giraffe. 

Here he is in his cage.

He looked so sad all penned up like that.  So while nobody was looking, we broke him out of there and released him back into the wild.
He was so happy to be out of his cage that he clapped his hooves!
free to roam the grasslands...
and graze...
on fallen leaves...
he may seem calm and gentle, but only if you kept a safe distance.  this next shot was dangerously close. luckily, Austin was there to distract him before it was too late. i could have been run over with cuteness by this small, yet quickly stampeding giraffe. it was definitely a close one.  
even though the authorities eventually caught up with us...and we had to return him to his enclosure, we had a lot of fun watching him frolic in the great outdoors on such a lovely day :)

(soooooo......I was pretty late with my Halloween post and pics. BUT it was worth the wait right? totally.)
