Rick and I wanted to spend the day with Ash since we were both home & he would be leaving the next morning for a week. It was a pretty cool day, so we decided to head over to Charles Towne Landing. We were not going to do the tours, etc., but we thought she might like the animals. (A good test to see how she would do at the Columbia Zoo before we make the trip in Oct.) Rick and I had not been there since we were children. Things were pretty much the same. They had some deer, a bear, a bobcat, a fox... Ashlyn actually had a blast, so we enjoyed just watching her. They had a bird cage that we could walk into, which was great, as she is fascinated with ALL birds!
Checking out the Otters
Heading down the trails that lead to the animals. Pretty exciting, as it was Ash's first big outing that she was not in the stroller.
"Come on you guys, I want to go this way...NOW!"
Checking out the animals with Mommy!
They always say that all of the locals are on "Island Time". I often wonder if it is just that Southerners are laid back and relaxed & don't want to miss anything, so they take their time. Maybe the heat makes us lazy...maybe we are just slow...Whatever it is, this bear has caught on. He was completely relaxed & did nothing but stretch. Yes, that is his leg resting on the fence. At one point, he switched sides and had his other leg on the fence. What a life!
About an hour of walking the trails was all she could take. Then we pushed her in the stroller the rest of the way & she was out as soon as we got to the car. It was a great day!
