nc zoo with the fam

we're going to the zoo!
Beautiful fall days are perfect for exploring the NC Zoo, which surprisingly, is the world's largest zoo habitat!

Ben was great at pointing out the hard to find animals, like the arctic fox, to Ellie.  We saw the polar bear in his new habitat-- so weird to see him surrounded by so much green!
