A Trip to the Zoo

Today Martha, Madison, Luke, and I met at the North Carolina Zoo. We had a wonderful day of eating, playing, walking, and looking at animals. Check out our pictures!

Madison with the tortoises, the first animals we encountered.


After some lunch Madison and I played on the playground.


Madison was quite happy to see the "cows".


Madison loved the bears (this picture was actually a mistake, she was posing and then at the last second swung on the handrail into the camera).


The zoo also has a carousel. Madison has been trained well, she chose to ride on the tiger (Go Clemson!). She loved the ride.


Luke did go, even though he didn't make it in many of the pictures.


He enjoyed hanging out with Madison's zebra more than looking at the real animals.


Madison loved the gorillas. She got up close and personal with this one.


The elephant exhibit was recently updated. They seemed to like their new home. Madison liked the elephants even though they were "a little scary".


We ended our trip at the zebra exhibit. This encounter with the zebras was much more enjoyable than my last encounter at the Lazy 5 Ranch.

It was a great day for the zoo!
