Church Picnic

Today was the church's annual picnic at Oehler's BBQ. Not only was the setting absolutely picturesque, the BBQ was outstanding and of course the fellowship was refreshing.

 Moon bounce, horshoes, volleyball, fishing....nobody got bored!

 Little barn and schoolhouse.

 The big barn.

 Wedding  chapel on the lake.

 Beautiful cedar wood....smelled great too. :)

 Animals roaming around made the setting perfect.

 Did I mention hayrides???

 Stage and dance floor up front for receptions and today great oldies tunes playing.

 This lane was full of honeysuckle and riding through in the wagon......ahhhh!

We took the monkeys to the Zoo!

We ventured to the North Carolina Zoo on Saturday. It's such a nice zoo! Great big enclosures for the animals, very clean, and five miles of beautifully shaded pathways. We only managed to see about half of the exhibits, but we bought a season pass so we'll be back again and again!

 Somebody was excited to get going.

All my monkeys.

 Beautiful Giraffe enclosure.

 Guess what hatched?

 Baby baboon was six week old! So ADORABLE!  We saw him playing in the grass, nursing, and being carried around by hanging onto mama!

 Honey bee farm.

 Getting fed up with this day.

 Just a few more inches buddy!

And he's out!

Goslings!
