Zoo at the Zoo

We drove to Louisville (about an hour and forty-five minutes) Sunday afternoon, planning to go to the Louisville Zoo  on Monday.  Well, it turned out to be the Labor Union Worker's Picnic at the Zoo.  It was a zoo!  THOUSANDS of extra people!  It was still fun, but it just made me think negative thoughts about unions.  Anyway, some pictures:

          It was 102 on Saturday, then a cold front moved in and the high on Monday was 68.  We hit up
                        the  Louisville Goodwill for jackets since we were not prepared for the chills.

Stinky rhinos.

            

 This picture is more for documenting Carver's curly hair, less for documenting the elephants.

Lunchables. Sometimes kids are so easy to please.

 We got to go in with the Kangaroos.  They jumped everywhere and about gave Mace and Charlotte heart attacks.  It was more than entertaining for all of us! 

Carver loves to honk noses.

Finally, after over six hours, we were ready to head home. 

It was an excellent day!
