A Dream Come True
Yesterday, I went to the Sedgwick County Zoo with Lynlee, Pax, and Rolando. There was tons of fun all around, about which I will blog in detail later, but I had to share my two most exciting moments.
1. Seeing the three-day-old baby of Bebe II and Eugene, the black rhinos.
2. Feeding Katie, Bebe's and Eugene's previous calf (3- or 4-years-old).
Yes, my friends -- I GOT TO FEED A RHINO!!! And pet her. And talk to her. And look into her beautiful brown eyes. And feel that prehensile upper lip gently nibble my hand. And see every detail about her, from her rough skin to the alfalfa clinging to her great horn.
I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
