NC Zoo

We picked an amazing day to visit the zoo.  It was cool when we arrived but warmed up quickly and we avoided the crowds.  Little did we know the entire zoo would fill to capacity later in the day - WOW! We started in North America and worked our way to Africa.  Alexander fell asleep in the baby backpack after the giraffes so Alex and I went back for the car giving the rest time to see more of Africa. We had a successful trip seeing lots of large animals including seals, bears, gorillas, puffins, elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, Elk, had a picnic and played in the Garden and Friends playground.

The polar bear, Nikita, was by far the biggest hit! She was HUGE and having the best time swimming and doing somersaults in the water for the crowd! She was AMAZING!
