Back to the Zoo

This spring has been unbelievably gorgeous. Warm weather, sunny skies, and green exploding everywhere (thanks to the wildly high pollen counts). So it was the perfect time to head back to one of the kids' favorite spots -- the zoo! This year was fun because Libby could walk around a little bit and enjoy it like a "big kid." It was also fun because our friends the Streckers were able to join us. Andrew, Adam, and Libby were excited to explore the zoo with their buddies Michael, Adah, and baby Maggie.

Ready to have a good time! What a beautiful day. I heart the Carolinas!

One of my favorite pictures from our day -- the kids eating lunch overlooking the river.

Adam, Andrew, and Adah checking out the spider monkeys. Those were some loud monkeys.

Andrew on the carousel

Standard solemn expression notwithstanding, Libby's favorite part of the day -- first ride on a carousel!

Andrew's favorite part of the trip -- hanging out with buddy Michael

Adam's favorite part of the day -- feeding the "camel." (I know. You try telling him it's a goat.)
