North Carolina Zoo and Sprinklers


Last weekend, I had a three day weekend, so we decided to go up to Asheboro to see the North Carolina Zoo. We hadn't been there yet since moving out here and it was easier than going camping. From these two pictures, you can see how early we got up to get to the zoo when it opened.



When we first got there we saw a sign that directed you toward the Polar Bears but also past a number of other exhibits before getting to the Polar Bears. Needless to say, NK didn't have a lot of interest in anything until we had visited them. On the way there, though, we did see the Harbor Seals and the Sea Lions.




NK thought that this otter looked like his Emma Lou.


Finally, the Polar Bears. This one was called Willy and it apparently has a favorite jug that it sleeps with.


NK looking for creatures. He didn't find any.


NK asked me to point out that this was not a real spider web, just a fake one.


Nor is this a real eight-foot long insect.


A couple of pictures of NK looking cute.



NK getting ready to pilot a helicopter over the Serengetti looking for bad guys so that he can shoot them with his lasers.


It was really stinkin' hot on the day we went to the zoo, something like about 100F with 73% humidity, so once we got home from the zoo, NK cooled off in the sprinklers.



Not sure what this one was about.
