Halfway Point: the Tyndell and Tara Reunion!

So funny enough, when we learned that we were relocating to NC earlier this year, we also found out that Tyndell's best friend from her school in Florida, Tara's, family was also relocating...and to Raleigh. Small world!  So we've been keeping in touch and after both of us have settled a bit, we found a weekend to meet up halfway so that the girls could see each other again.  So this past weekend, we met halfway at the NC Zoo in Ashboro, NC.  It's about 1 1/2 -2 hours for each of us so it makes for a decent day trip in either direction.  It was so hilarious seeing these girls together again - like they didn't skip a beat.  The brothers, Liam and Silas, were champs to put up with so much girly excitement.  In fact, there was so much excitement that it was really difficult to get any pictures of the kids that weren't blurry!  These were the best I could do.  I think this was our last warm weekend for a while....it's going to turn cold again tonight and then I believe fall and winter will be officially on.  The leaves are peaking now and it's been beautiful.  As for the NC Zoo - it was a little strange how spaced out all the exhibits were, but they did have some animals that we didn't normally get to see at the Palm Beach Zoo - like the regal lioness and some gorillas.  Very cool.  I think they are doing some updates there (lots of exhibits were closed and there seemed to be a lot of construction going on) so hopefully next year it will get a bit more interesting.  Fun day!  Love these girls.  Thanks to the O'Farrell family for making it possible.
