What I Learned From the Our Trip To The Zoo
Here's a little run down on my thoughts after a glorious day at the NC Zoo earlier this week. It seems lately I am having 'reflections' or you'll notice it as "What I Learned...." I suppose anytime I can 'learn' something from anything is a good thing. Then to pen it is another.
What I Learned From the NC Zoo:
1) Beautiful fall weather is a gift from above not to be taken for granted. A plethora of gorgeous fall leaf colors included made for a flawless Zoo day
2) It's fun to be the first one in the parking lot - before the gates open - all Kudos go to Mountain Man :)
3) The sound of silence at the Zoo is a miracle of peace. The NC Zoo is a large property so the winding trails and trees were like being in the forest with the animals.
4) We'll never forget hearing the Elk bugle! (Even in Elk season, I had not heard this in Colorado.)
5) One Elk can send a herd of Buffalo stampeding in the opposite direction
6) The love my "Cherubs" have for all of the animals is something heavenly, I aspire to mimic it :)
7) There is nothing like a homemade picnic by Carolina Mama - awesome ;) for lunchtime at the Zoo - yes I turned my nose up at the Zoo food; :)
8) The Giraffe still take my breath away....
9) Watching the Sea Lions swim was mesmerizing; and
10) Family is everything and it was a joy to do the Zoo together!
*Runner Up: Dinner at Cracker Barrel on the way home was warm and delicious and perfect after a full day with the animals.
Warmly,
Oh, what a great idea to go in the fall. The schools always go in the Spring when it is SO HOT!!!! Also taking your own food was a great idea, the zoo food isn't the best, lol. How great is the Tram for when you are tired and need to get from Africa to North America.
ReplyDeleteI like the NC zoo, too. It's just such a long drive (for a day trip) from here...
ReplyDeleteMy pocketbook turns up its nose at the zoo food.
So glad you had such a great time. It seems that the Lord really blessed you with the beautiful day - and He is ever so glad when we "learn" something from spending time in His creation! Thanks for sharing it with us. I learned something from your day at the zoo - didn't know a thing about Elk until today - now I know 2 things. ;-)
