Our last surprise for the weekend was a trip to the NC Zoo in Asheboro. We've never been to this zoo before and we had no idea how spread out it was. There are two sections: Africa and North America. We didn't get to the North America section. Of course, I forgot our stroller so Luke got a little tired of walking. He never rides in a stroller anymore, but this would have been a time where we could have used it. It was a gorgeous fall day. There were so many people there. It was hard to get up close to the fences and glass to see all of the animals.
Both boys wanted to wear their Lego nametags from the night before.
Poison frogs. I've never seen blue ones before.
All throughout the zoo there were these metal animal sculptures. Fletcher and Luke thought they needed to climb on every one. These are the elephants.
The rhino.
They called these the "swamp ghosts" - albino alligators.
Giant (man made) beehive.
Giant bee.
Giraffes - always one of my favorites.
We took this picture as we were leaving since we forgot to take a group photo when we got there. I think we all look a little worn out.
We really enjoyed the baboons. They were putting on a show. I think their mom got tired of all the antics. Notice what she does at the minute mark. Guess they won't be playing in that hole anymore.
