We went to the zoo!

A week ago today, we embarked on our first ever trip to the NC Zoo. Our adventure began around 8:30 on Saturday morning. We piled into the car with our packed lunches, water & extra diapers & drove to Asheboro.



We were pleasantly surprised by how large & nice the zoo is. We began by checking out the giraffes. This was an awe-inspiring moment. Ollie's jaw dropped as he set his eyes (for the very first time) on a giraffe. They are facinating creatures & pretty incredible to observe. In the same pen were ostriches. The two were quite spectacular.






From there we headed off to
see elephants & rhinos, lions & gorillas, polar bears & puffins. There was nothing out of the ordinary but we had fun.



If you ask Ollie what he saw at the zoo he'll say, "monkey butts," meaning the baboons. they seemed to be his favorite, in all their glory, smearing their poo on everything. Gross.
