Zoos and Parks

First of all, I can't wait to post some pics from baby girl's sprinkle Saturday morning and the play date, but I didn't take any with my camera so I will have to wait and will do another post in tribute to such a fun and memorable morning asap!  But here is what went on the rest of the weekend!

Saturday after nap... Alec and I decided to try out the Burlington City Park...Trevor was a little too young to fully enjoy this park, but it has great potential for next Spring/Summer.  There were a few things of interest to Trevor, we just didn't need to buy the ride pass booklet at this age:).

Then came the carousel...  Trevor seemed to be content with this ride, not overly happy, just fine...;)

Of course, the simple things... tower of sand with big kids seemed to catch Trevor's attention the most..

This was the only ride we attempted to let Trevor ride on by himself and it ended about 25 seconds after this picture was snapped.  Trevor realized that he could turn around in his seat to break out of the seat belt and was trying to jump from the boat into the water.

 As for Sunday....

Our NC acquarium pass has got to be one of the best purchases we have made.  It was $60 for a family for a year and allows us free access to any NC acquarium, the Greensboro Natural Science Center, the Asheboro Zoo, and half off admission to several out nation wide parks.  We actually used it to get half off admission for everyone at the Portland Zoo a few weeks ago. 

So Sunday we decided to make a trip to the Asheboro Zoo and here are a few pics....

Happy Boy as long a you keep me out of the stroller!

BIG Elephants and they moved around a lot

Hoola Hoops?  What are these things for??

Not having too much luck with one, I think I just need to add a few more

I was very impressed with the zoo.  Trevor doesn't seem too interested in the animal viewing from afar, but loves to speed down the paths and there are sure a LOT of walking paths.
