Going Wild!

We are so excited to have Robyn home for a brief visit before going back for summer semester! Poor kid, so many people to see, so many things to do, and only a few days between semesters.

But, we are so happy to have her with us that we all took Mae to the NC Zoo in Asheboro for the first time! Having Robyn, a biology major interested in zoology, with us made the day extra special and extra interesting. It was like having our own personal docent who shared with us all kinds of fascinating animal facts, and taught Mae all kinds of animal noises! Luckily, the storms had passed us by and it was a lovely day but soemthing must have happened at the zoo the night before because half of the zoo was closed Friday due to a water main break. Whatever the problem, we read it was so bad that they had to close the zoo for the remainder of the weekend (lucky we got there when we did!).

What we did get to see of the zoo was pretty incredible -- they have these fantastic kids play areas that will be great when Mae is a little older. It was definately different than the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore Zoos that we are used to, but still nice. In the center of the zoo, there is a beautiful caurosel, but we didn't get to ride it before it closed. Something for next time! All in all, if you are in or near Asheboro we recommend a visit!
