Zoo Trip **Part Five**

Last day for the Zoo Trip posting.

Here is a cute turtle from Sonora Desert I forgot to post.

This was a cute game about nature the girls enjoyed playing.

At the African Pavilion they have a look out where you can see antelope, rhinoceroses, and elephants.

Here's an elephant standing alone.

Some lazy rhinoceroses.....

Funny baboon

Baboon eating a stick

That's a BIG and mean looking gorilla, but I am sure he is a sweetie.

They chimpanzees are the funniest animals. I fell in love watching them. They were climbing like crazy.

Doesn't he look like he's pointing to his elbow.....?

My silly hubby thought I was taking a pic of him....sorry honey I wasn't....look left of his head, see the chimp that climbed to the top and was sitting looking at everyone.

My daughter took this pic.....I can't help but giggle at it....it's too cute.

Beautiful big cats....Lions. The male didn't wake up but the female was a cutie. She looks like she is smiling.

She got up and stretched..........

Then she stuck out her tonuge.

The Red River Hog,not the cutest animal at the zoo.......but it was fun seeing it.

Two zebra's looking pretty.

Look at those stripes!!

Very pretty giraffe standing TALL.

Two ostriches......

I love me some dippin' dots! They are so good.

I love this gift shop.....It's so funky looking!!

On the parking lot bus headed to our car.....time to go home.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my pics from our trip. If you are ever in Asheboro NC please go visit the zoo.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Zoo Trip **Part Four**

Today's photos will come from the Junction Plaza, Forest Aviary and African Pavilion.

The Junction Plaza is were we stopped for lunch. It is in the middle of the zoo park.

Walking into the Junction Plaza.

Our lunch was good. They have cheeseburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fries, chips and pizza available. And snacks and drinks too!

After eating, the girls decided they wanted to ride the carousel.

Then we walked into one of many gift shops.

Ha Ha....just look at my girl working her daddy! I have trained her well....LOL Give him the big brown sad eyes and he will give in.

After a little shopping, we went to the Forest Aviary to see some tropical birds, frogs, and large plants.

Some cute Pink Flamingos!!

Pretty flowers

I love this picture.

What a beautiful bird.

Another pretty bird

Now this is the kind of tree I want growing in my back yard......

Over at the African Pavilion you can see meerkats, snakes and more plants.

Casey and Shelby standing in front of a banana tree. I love the huge leaves.

Isn't he a cute Meerkat.

Tomorrow I will post gorillas, chimpanzees, giraffes and few more.

Have a great day!

Zoo Trip **Part Three**

Are you sick of seeing zoo pictures yet???

I have more...LOL.

( I think I will have a whole week of zoo post by the time I am done......)

So, today we are going to visit the Sonora Desert and see other animals.

We saw two black bears.

Here are some Elk....normally they are way back in the field, but today they were closer.

YIKES!!!

We even got to see the bison up close too.

Here's a sweet Grizzly Bear....he was eating something so he wouldn't look up.

Here's a Red Wolf. There was a bigger one but it stayed behind a big rock....guess it was shy.

Here is the Sonora Desert. Isn't it a pretty building. It had large plants and cactus all around.

Walking....

Look at those cactus.....I would hate to fall on them. OUCH!

Such a pretty place.

Inside you will find roadrunners, ocelots, reptiles, and bats.

I think this was a roadrunner.

Some birds in there too.

Another bird.

A sleeping big cat....look at those feet...I just want to tickle them.

This is the only snake I will post....because it's not real. I don't want to scare any of my readers away.....

Time for a rest!!! I think I posted it was 2 miles in my first Zoo post.....WRONG....it was 5 miles! It's a very big Zoo.

Tomorrow I will be posting about the Forest Aviary,lunch and a Carousel. Then on Friday I will finish with pictures of Zebras, Gorillas, and Giraffes.

Have a great day!!
