The North Carolina Zoo

Tyler has last Friday off and came up with the idea that perhaps we should take this oppurtunity (as it would probably be our last) to go to the North Carolina Zoo which happens to be here in Asheboro. It was probably the perfect day because the weather was wonderful and there was hardly anyone there with us.

Most of the animals were just laying around doing a whole lot of nothing, so Kendalynn didn't seem to notice that there was anything specific to look at, but there were a few fun things that caught her eye. Here are a few fun pictures I got from the day.

This was probably by far the coolest thing, and I wish I could have got a better picture! Kendalynn stood right up against the glass and the polar bear swam right up to her face put his paws on the glass and then after a second he'd push himself backwards to the rocks. Then he'd dive down again, come up to her face and do the same thing. It was probably the only thing that got her really excited all day.

Isn't it such a cute fox? Oh they were so fluffy and adorable I wanted to take one home.

Tyler and Buggy dear.

The angry owl. His eyes are even red in the picture.

I LOVE giraffes and was very glad to see them moving around unlike almost everything else.

I was also excited to see the lions...and then we saw them and how boring they were. Sad. (but at least they were visible. Both the black bears AND the grizzly bears were completely out of sight.)

These gorillas were HUGE. blugh.

You can't really tell in this picture, but the baboon closest to the camera had CRAZY hair. It was like one giant afro, and looked as if someone used one of those crimper things everyone used in the 90's or something. Wow.

She was superb the whole day, but by the time we got to the car she was beat.

And not long after we left she grabbed her monkey (she LOVES that monkey) and fell asleep. Cute cute.
