NC Zoo

We finally made another trip to the NC Zoo! I am really not sure why we ever go during the summer. It was ridiculously hot! 

We got to watch an elephant try to cool himself off which was fun. 

The elephants might be my favorite animal.

The boys were more fascinated with the statutes than with the animals.

This photo cracks me up. Hunter looking super cute and Jackson looking so tired even though we had only just started our day.

The NC zoo is so big we usually only do half of it at a time. That means we get to see elephants, monkeys, and lions!

We almost opted out of the aviary...but glad we didn't! Hunter enjoyed talking to this very vocal bird.

They had a special butterfly house exhibit that we were able to visit. The boys loved getting to see the butterflies up close but I was terrified they might hurt or kill one! They aren't exactly soft with things!

The big beautiful blue and black ones were everyone's favorites!

Once the boys found the carousel we knew we had to ride it! It seemed so small and old compared to the big beautiful one at the Greensboro Science Center. 

But they still had fun! 

It was a hot and tiring day at the zoo but the boys enjoyed getting to see the animals! In the future we will stick with going in the fall or spring!
