Yesterday we went to the North Carolina Zoo -- and it was a perfect day for it. The leaves were beautiful and the weather was great. And thanks to the homeschool program the zoo has, the entrance fees, which should have cost $44 only cost $10!
We took a couple of Strider's friends with us and I think everyone had a blast. And I think we only said "Boys, get off of that" or "Boys, get back on the trail," LESS than 100 times! At one point I came around the bend to find all 3 boys perched up high on the back of some bleachers. I groaned, "Why do you guys always have to find the most risky place to be??" and a lady nearby chimed in, "I'll tell you: B-O-Y."
My favorite line of the day, though, was, "Can I throw a rock at him [a sleeping otter] to wake him up? I've been wanting to do that all day [to all the sleeping animals]." Guess who said it.... Pete!! (Thankfully none of the kids heard him!) Once a boy, always a boy.
Seriously, though, the boys were very well behaved, and even surprised us by listening to "The Secret Garden" on CD for about an hour on the way home. :)
Here are some pictures from our day:
