Zoo Two

 For our second trip to the NC Zoo (the first was almost a year ago!), we started in the North America section.  Matthew was just as enthusiastic about his map this time around!

Although some things are closed for the winter season, there was still plenty to see.  My favorite was the polar bear -- she was putting on an aquatic show when we were at the underwater viewing area, swimming around and doing flips!  Mattie and James liked the playground the best.  (Just before we left, Mattie wanted to see the red wolves -- but then was a bit disappointed that they weren't bright red.)

For dinner on the way home, we stopped at  sports bar, which happened to have both LSU basketball and Gator gymnastics on the TVs -- what are the odds?  :)  James was quite an enthusiastic basketball spectator!  I don't know how much he cares about the game, per se, but he likes to see the numbers change on the score and he likes when his team is winning.
