This morning we went to the NC Zoo. It was both Emma and Ryleigh's first time and I was so excited to take them. We've had this planned for a while now and we were able to go as a big family. We went with The Hollifields, mom and dad, Katie, and her boyfriend Bradley. I am so glad that we all got to go together. I think it worked out well, because me and Autumn had helpers. It would have been extremely difficult to go by ourselves. We got there right when the park opened at 9:00. Emma decided to get up at 6:00 this morning and woke Ryleigh up too, so I was afraid that it was going to be a disaster. Emma did wonderful the whole time. Ryleigh fussed at the beginning but only because she was tired. My mom carried her and got her to sleep and she got a short nap. Then once she woke up she was fine. We walked through the Africa part first. We were able to go out of the new Giraffe deck. You can get really close to the giraffes and even feed them. I think Cheyenne was the only one who got to feed one though. Once the giraffes got close enough, all of a sudden there were a ton more people around. After lunch we walked through the North America side then walked all the way back through the zoo to where we parked. We walked A LOT...and all the kids did wonderful. I can't wait to take them all back when they are older.
The video at the bottom is sooooo cute. Emma and Cheyenne were hugging and kissing on each other.

The girls slept most of the way from North America to the park lot....probably about 45 min or so. They were exhausted.
