Natural Science Center in GSO

Last Friday we had a fun trip to the Natural Science Center in Greensboro with Emily and her children:  Grace, Jackson and Lily.  Bridget and Grace are best friends!  We missed playing with them while we were in NJ, so it was good to catch up.
The science center is a really neat place...part learning museum, and part mini-zoo.  We had a lot of fun seeing the meerkats, petting the sheep and goats, watching the trainer feed the gibbons, hearing the tigers playing and seeing the maned wolves.  Then we went inside to see touch snakes, lizards, and sea urchins, go through a dinosaur maze, see some dinosaur bones and ooh ahh over some gemstones. 

Meerkats
Hmm...what's up there?
Feeding the gibbons, and Dempsy the gibbon.
Giant anteater (and I mean giant!)
Maned Wolf (but it looks like a huge fox)
This was a really cool jumping water fountain.
Bridget got to hold a sea urchin!
Hello horseshoe crab...
This 2 headed turtle is 11 years old!
