Zoo Day

Hey NC Homeschoolers! Did you know that you can get into the NC zoo for free? I did not know this until a few weeks ago, but it's true. All NC registered home schools can go once each year by making reservations a minimum of 2 weeks ahead. It just took a quick phone call and all of our school age children and one "staff" member got in free. This is one of the reasons we traveled there last week.

Another homeschool friend thought it would be a good way to celebrate her son's birthday and let me in on the free entry tip. So we joined two other families for a day at the zoo. The kids had a great time and we have talked about it every day since. Among our favorites of the day were the flamingos, the otters, and the sea lion.

The otter was very friendly and was definitely one of the favorites.

I personally enjoyed this sunning sea lion named Abby.

Lily was concerned about the flamingos with the broken legs. I'm not sure how we had missed that lesson, but we were able to clarify that detail.
