While we were visiting MawMaw for Easter, we decided to go to the NC Zoo in Asheboro. Way closer to MawMaw’s house than ours. It was a special weekend at the zoo. The animals were celebrating Easter too. It was soooo cool.
Davis loved the black bears. You could tell it was almost feeding time because the bears hung out near the exhibit door.
So when it was time, the zoo keepers came out with the bears Easter treats and hid them around in their exhibit.
It was really fascinating to watch them meander out and find each one of the eggs.
Next we saw some bob cats in action. I think one was a little grumpy this morning. They never made contact with one another, but you should have heard the noises they were making.
Around this time, Davis was on a kick about things with whiskers. So we set out to see how many animals had whiskers.
The buffalo looked kind of rough, but I believe they were shedding that heavy coat for the summer.
I thought this was cute. It is as if Davis is saying, “Now, come on bee, let’s go somewhere.”
Davis saw his first 3-D movie today as well. Dora and Diego Catches the Robot Butterfly. He loved it!
The Lemurs were probably my favorite. I think this guy was practicing his yoga.
I just loved this little statue. I think Giraffes are some of the most beautiful creatures and this little statue is symbolic of our little family.
The elephants. We were, well I was, determined to see the elephants enjoy their Easter treats. We waited…
And waited…
Finally they came!
And yep, Elephants have whiskers!
Tired family waiting on the bus to take us back to our car. We had a wonderful day at the zoo.
