Twins

I wrote this the other day and just before I posted it my internet failed. I hope I have fixed it now.

One day I was walking through the baby animal nursery and there they were. Twins - rare, but none the less, there they were.

They were named Archie and Edith. Giraffes usually come one at a time.

They were having trouble getting them to take a bottle. Finally, someone came up with the idea of hiding the bottle in her long blonde hair. It worked. No more feeding problems.

Eventually they were moved to an outside pen. I spent many hours with them.

One day, they were both very interested in getting into the bag I had over my shoulder. One actually had it's neck wrapped around my back and coming in to get in the bag. Finally, I remebered I had an apple in the bag. I don't remember how I got out of the tangle of baby giraffes necks, but I still had the apple. LOL

They were eventually moved out with the other giraffes.
