from the heART: giraffes and zebras and buffalo, oh my!

Over a year ago my sister and brother-in-law moved to Hawaii. Rough life, right? Talking with my sister before their visit, I asked if there was anything specific she wanted to do while here. Her response, "Eat mainland food!" So from the airport, of course we went straight to Chipotle and then the rest of the weekend followed! It was a blast having them here for the weekend and it was packed full of fun! We went to the US National Whitewater Center for Beast Feast, a food truck competition, cached around Charlotte and South Carolina, played in a ping pong tournament and best of all, we fed a giraffe! 

Number 74: feed a giraffe! Check! Lazy Five Ranch, about 30 min outside Charlotte is basically a drive through zoo. It was wild having the animals come up and just stick their heads inside the car looking for buckets full of food. My brother-in-law had one deer tear the bucket right out of his hands and then proceeded to tip the bucket up and shower himself with all the food pellets. Sorry B.Wise, but it was hilarious and made it so much better that it was the very first animal to come up to the car! However, nothing beat the feeding of the giraffes! It was awesome and I was so happy to have the Wises come for a visit here in Charlotte!
