The Little Monkeys Where They Belong:)

OK so we took the kids to the Louisville Zoo with my college friend Melinda and her kids yesterday. So much fun even though it rained on us. Take a look. We had a big crew-Melinda and her kids Ali, Molly and Dawson, me and my kids, Benjamin, Evan and Jacob, my mother-in-law Esther and my niece Christian and her cousin Damahn.



Benjamin, Damahn, Christian, Evan and Jacob at the zoo!



Jacob was fascinated seeing the monkeys up close.



Evan liked the tiger!


The polar bear lounging around.


Ali, Jacob, Molly and Benjamin check out the Splash Park!





Jacob and Christian with the Polar Bear that squirts water.






Evan and Benjamin take a rest.


As you can see, the Splash Park was really cool. The kids had a lot of fun splashing around in the water on such a hot day!


Naked mole rats. There is a mom and baby and Evan said it was "Sooooo cute!"


Baby and mommy hippos.


I think was the daddy hippo.



Damahn, Christian and Benjamin see how they stand up to a gorilla.



Benjamin and Evan pretend they are driving the safari van at the African Outpost.



More monkeys!


A meerkat comes out and makes an appearance.



This was the kids favorite. This baby elephant was soooo cute!


The zebras.


The stuck up lion that was too good to look at us.


Jacob getting tired at the zoo.




The Addax. They have suck pretty horns.


There were several zoo babies this year. This is the sign for the baby Bongo. There is an adult Bongo in the next picture.



The kids liked climbing all the animal statues. Here is a carving of a buffalo.


Rhinos!


Munching giraffes.



This giraffe needed to take a rest.
