Vacation Part III

This set of pictures covers the middle of our vacation. We did so many amazing things and crammed so much in to five weeks, looking back it just seems so much longer!


Exactly half-way through my parents got a chance to take a little driving vacation up in the mountains, and Kit came over from where he was interning in Tennessee to hang out. We went to the Life and Science museum and did other wonderful fun things that I forgot to photograph! A fantastic time was had by all and I can only hope we do it again soon!

Everett is quite the climber, he is really gifted at free-scaling a wall, with or without the footholds... Hmmm, perhaps we should consider relocating somewhere with taller hills to summit.


This part was so cool! It was all hydro-power and you could control it with pumps and levers! Awesome wet fun on a steamy North Carolina day.


Next up (at least photographically) was our visit to the NC zoo in Asheboro. I have never been when it wasn't muggy, but at least all the trees provide a lot of shade, and the 5 miles of paths are beautiful (and that is only the African side!)

A wonderful day was had by all! And Everett says his favorite animals were the sleepy lions. I love the giraffes and gorillas.
