So last week, my sister invited me and the boys and my mom to tag along with her and her daughter on a quick little jaunt down to the Asheboro Zoo. It had been a long time since we last visited so of course we were up for the trip! It was a nice day to go, the skies were a bit overcast and the temperature was low. It was so low that we ended up having to buy hoodies for Ryan and Makena to wear! We saw so many animals this time around, I think in part because the temps were perfect and it was early. Here are a few of my pics from the trip:
I have to tell you, our experience at the Chimpanzee Observatory was pretty amazing. This fellow was sitting right in front of us and just stared back at us through the glass, looking at each one of us. My sister smiled and nodded her head at him and he nodded back! Then we noticed another chimpanzee coming up and my sister pointed in it’s direction. Our friend turned his head to see what she was pointing at! I know that they are tremendously powerful animals but they are obviously very intelligent as well.
We had a great time together, all the kids got along great and my mom took us all out to lunch afterwards! I doubt we’ll wait so long between visits next time. Hope all is well in your world!
