Aloha!

As in the Aloha Zoo that is. Wow, what a little diamond in the rough! A few of us moms made an executive decision that the zoo would be the only place that we would like to celebrate Mother's Day! Ha! If you don't know, I'm not a fan of zoos of any sort. I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never had to go to one again, but for the sake of my handsome little Gannon, I will make as many trips as his little heart desires. The weather is absolutely amazing today and quite the Mother's Day gift in my mind! This sanctuary of animals is located in Sanford, NC on 60 acres of land. The animals range from the simple farm animals to exotic wildlife. You purchase a sand bucket for $3 full of sweet feed, popcorn and bread, and are welcome to feed whoever will take it...including my kid. Ugh! Seriously, Gannon eating the animal food...Gag me! They offer pony rides and a safari ride, via tractor, overlooking the property and all it's glory where the animals run freely. The employees are so incredibly friendly and helpful. I am certain we will be visiting the zoo again. As a matter of fact, we have a birthday party to attend there in a couple weeks! Aloha!!!

Just a bit uneasy at first.

Wouldn't you know, that finger seems to always find it's way to the nostril when I try to get a picture of this punk!

Just like a pro!

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Whooooaaaa!

"Good day sir...It's been a pleasure."
