Not that North Carolina experienced anything close to the polar vortex that the midwest and north eastern states experienced, but it has been very chilly in Charlotte this past week all the same. We were all very excited to experience sunny skies and sixty degree temperatures this weekend. Harper, Ethan and I met Poppy, Gigi and Great Grandma at the zoo on Saturday. The zoo is halfway between Cary and Charlotte. We had such a wonderful time exploring the zoo together. We all made it across the entire zoo! Harper was very surprised to see her grandparents when we got there as we had kept it secret! Alex spent Saturday snowboarding at Sugar Mountain. Despite his bindings breaking and loosing the sole of a boot, he was able to get a few runs in for the first time in five years! We packed a picnic lunch on Sunday and headed out to Little Sugar Creek Trail for a nice stroll. We thoroughly enjoyed the weather this weekend!
Sea Lions
Polar Harper
The polar bear was very sleepy.
We spent a little time playing in the playground. Ethan enjoyed the rubber flooring and Harper loved the slide!
Riding an arctic fox, of course!
I love this desert exhibit!
Gigi and Harper posed with a bison.
Sleepy gorilla
We missed feeding the giraffes this time. At least we got to watch them all roam towards their food tower.
I love the otters!
It is hard to see, but we paid a little visit to this bobcat. When we were here with Harper when she was fifteen months old, this bobcat was very interested in pouncing on her!
Ethan wanted Poppy's glasses for the sun!
Zebra watching!
We always love the lions!
Harper rode on Great Grandma's walker for a bit. S.P.O.I.L.E.D.
Alex enjoyed the NC mountains!
Happy picnicking on Little Sugar Creek Greenway!
