NOT Fabric and Fiber Friday, but...

Flora and Fauna!

This past Wednesday, the planets aligned.

Lady K was out of school for a teacher's workday. The rest of us were off work. The temperature was expected to be in the mid-70's and sunny.

What better day to go to the North Carolina Zoo?



Texter and Savvy haven't been to this zoo since they were in high school. Lady K hadn't been before at all.

Lady K was set to tell us which way to go.

One of the benefits of learning to read means it translates to reading maps also.

Lady K enjoyed the play areas. She did have her eye on the zip-lines, but we vetoed that idea until she was a bit older.

Anything involving 'kitty-cats' was a hit.

We did get a bit of a laugh in the North American section which was attempting to recreate Yellowstone, complete with geysers. And bison. And elk.

Lady K is a Red-tailed Hawk.

While Texter tries to pretend to be a Bald Eagle.

And Aunt Savvy gets some assistance to go from a Great Blue Heron to a Turkey Vulture.

Of course, my favorite was the 'birdhouse' or rather the plants.

A flamingo aura?

It was a spur of the moment decision to go and one I don't regret. We had a 'zoo-tastic' time!
