Louisville Zoo

Last Sunday, we spent a great day with Grammy, Kelly and Anna at the Louisville. It is a great zoo and we'll definitely be going back!

The highlight of our day was Reagan having the opportunity to feed the largest male giraffe, Walker. Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of it to share. I'm hoping to get one electronically soon but until then here is a picture of Kennedy and Grammy with one of the giraffes. They were pretty cool!
Reagan had a great view of the animals a good portion of the day from Grammy's shoulders

We had the opportunity to see baby Naked Mole-Rats while we were at the zoo. Woo hoo! That's true excitement for you let me tell you... Do you detect a bit of sarcasm in my writing? Well, to a two year old I guess they're a bit more exciting because Reagan took a look at them and said "For goodness sakes, I need one of those!"

One of Reagan's favorite animals has always been the giraffe. There was no doubt that after getting to feed a giraffe that it was what she loved the most that day. Reagan found two giraffes (a "mommy" and a "baby") she could NOT live without in the gift shop and Grammy insisted on purchasing for her.
Thank you, Grammy, for taking us to the zoo! We had a wonderful visit! :)

Thanks for posting these. We saw the last three groups of photos together. It looks like everyone had fun.

I think "fully clothed mole rats" would be a good name for a musical group. Mole rats are very interesting, by the way. Their social life is quite a bit like that of bees or ants.
