The NC Zoo










We took a trip to the NC Zoo in Ashboro which is west of Apex. It was beautiful. Very large and surrounded by rolling hills and nature at it's best. We enjoyed seeing turtles, frogs, and fish in their natural habitat just as much as we enjoyed seeing the captive animals. The zoo is so large that there is a tram that takes you from one end of the zoo to the other to avoid a 5 mile walk. It was a great day.


Justin will start school tomorrow. He met his teacher and had an orientation last week. He is very excited and he already knew one of his classmates from playing with him at my work. His teachers seem great and he is eager to get started. Owen is pluggin away at school. He walks the halls like a politician. These kids run into someone they know almost everywhere we go, it's funny.
The pic of Owen is him just being Owen. He drew on his face so that it would look like he had a mustache and the hair well that explains itself! He is still creative at his own costume making. Justin laughs at him but Owen thinks he is really cool. They are too funny.
Well, hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day. We are heading to a bbq this afternoon in the neighborhood with some of our friends.
Love,
Justin, Owen, Jamie, and Shaun!

  2. Hello Everyone! It's Auntie Carrie

    I haven't left a comment in so long I cannot remember my password.

    Anyhow, WOW the boys are getting so tall. I sure do miss Owen's costumes and Justin's giggles. The Zoo sound very pretty. Nothing like the Detroit Zoo.

    Emily and I are preparing for school too. YUK!

    Well, I sure miss everyone! Glad to hear that everyone is making new friends and having a great time in NC.

    Take Care and Lots of Love:-)
