What a super fun day I had with Zack and his two buddies. We headed over to the
North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, NC super early this morning and got home just as planned. We spent a great deal of time walking, looking at animals, and just enjoying a beautiful day! I think the boys enjoyed all of the statues because we had to stop at each one and take a picture. So be prepared, there are a lot of pictures!

We did see some wonderful animals and learned quite a bit, since that is what field trips are all about, right!? This was such a great way for the kids to learn. I think they got more of it than sitting in a classroom. If only everything could be learned this way!
So, we saw a lot of animals, like the ones below.

But for me, I enjoyed the bonding!
So, now after a super long day, I am ready for some much needed rest!
Until next time!
