The Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo in Asheboro today. It was a perfect zoo day, because it wasn't too hot or too cold. The animals were out and active which was great. We have been to the zoo several times and today I saw some animals I have never seen before. We loved the otter exhibit, so Colton chose to get an otter stuffed animal. Colton and I were attacked by geese two different times. The first time was just hilarious. We took two steps onto a long bridge and two geese were on the opposite end. Colton said it looked like we were in a gunfight. As soon as he said that they started flying right at us! We actually had to go clear up against the railing and duck or they would have flown right into us. People were laughing so hard as were we. Then, after we left the polar bear exhibit, three geese flew at us again. It was crazy!
Colton enjoyed taking some of the pictures you will see below. We had so much fun. The new African Plains exhibit will open in April, but we were able to see a preview of some of it today. It is going to be really nice.
Afterwards, we went to Books a Million, an arcade and then to dinner.
It was an awesome day!!!!
By the way, Mike comes home on Monday! Colton and I will go down with my parents to meet him!!!!! Hopefully, I will have some pictures to post soon!!!!

One of Colton's favorite land animals. Don't ask me why though! Colton hatching from an ostrich egg.
As Colton rode the bicycle, he moved the arms of the artwork.

GO HERD!!!!
This bear cracked me up. Later he got down in the water and licked the wall by us.
Colton took the next two pictures.

We had never seen this beautiful fox. There were three of them.
The polar bear was wiped out when we saw him. Colton took this picture as he was laughing at the tire on the bear's nose.
We think this looks like a larger version of our Mimzy.

Talk to you soon!!
