From Africa to North America and Back

We spent an amazing Saturday at the NC Zoological Park with our friends, the James family.

After a quick bagel breakfast, we were on our way for the two hour drive up to Asheboro. We made it with just one potty break - a new Parker family record!

We began our journey in Africa, where the kids enjoyed seeing the elephants, rhinos, zebras, etc.



We made the long walk over to North America with the help of our trusty map readers (they literally pointed out each and every animal that we saw that day)....


















....and spent some time with the resident grizzly bear, who was clearly in relaxation mode!








We then had an amazing visit with a sea lion who found particular interest in Aidan!






















We capped off our day by taking the tram across the park and back into Africa.

It was a wonderful day, at a wonderful zoo, in wonderful weather, with wonderful friends!
