Louisville Zoo

My sister was going to be visiting my nephew in Kentucky and we were invited to go too! We left Lafayette early on Friday morning and met up with them around 10:00am at the Louisville Zoo. It was nice to see some of my family. The animals were just an added bonus.

 

It was Logan and Bergen's first time at a big zoo and they loved it! They saw all kinds of animals...

 

and even acted like a few!

 

 

Here's a shot of Bergen with Aunt Audrey in front of the gorilla exhibit.

 

And one of Logan hanging out with Tera.

 

Sorry no pictures of Brandon. But seriously, if you saw him, you would never leave this page on my blog! Here's everybody else though. A bunch of animals watching a bunch of animals, I tell you.

 

The best thing about the zoo was the water park. Yes, you read that right. In. The. Zoo! (And it was free.) We were a little more than half way around when we saw it.

We weren't prepared for it (no swimming suits), but that didn't matter. Logan's shirt and shoes were off in a flash and he was having fun.

 

Bergen was hesitant

 

but it didn't take her long to get into the groove.

 

Note: We had her follow the shirtless example so she wouldn't be wet for the rest of the afternoon.

 

I think those kids would have stayed in the water all day long if we'd let them.

 

They had such a good time

 

splashing around!

 

After drying off and stopping for a tasty picnic lunch, we were on our way again. There were so many things to see!

One of the things the kids thought was really cool was just outside the petting zoo. We practically had to pull them out of "Fillmore" (The van from Cars.) in the "Indiana Jones" setting! They thought they were in a movie scene! Silly kids.

 

And last but not least, Aunt Audrey treated them to a ride on the carousel. Look at those faces! Thanks Aunt Audrey!

 

We all had a great day!!

 

Stay tuned for more about our fun night.
