We had a smashing time at the zoo in Louisville. The whole trip went off without a hitch. we boarded the bus at 8:00 and headed East. It was great cool day in the morning, and the kids seemed to love the bus ride. We pulled into the zoo about 10:15. We used the facility, and then split into two groups - the older group and the younger group. Miss Amy, her daughter Jessica, Savannah's grandma and Mr. Casey, Alexis's dad, took the smaller children while Miss Leigh, Mr. Roger, Jill's dad, and Mr. Matt and Miss Dayna took the older children.
The younger kids looked at all the inside stuff - the orangutans, the birds and crocks, the reptiles, the fish, and the dragon, and then headed off to see the snow leopards, the flamingos, and all the animals on the way to lunch.
We lunched at the playground on choice of sandwich, watermelon which seems to be a favorite this year, chips, and carrots and pickles, and milk, and then we went to the water park and got soaked. It was wonderful. Then we swapped places and toured the other end of the park. The little guys saw the tigers, the gorillas, the zebras, the elephants, the rhinoceroses, giraffes, the lions who were growling, and some interesting new animals.
We made it back to the bus in good time, and had a soda and cookies and boarded the bus and made it home by about ten to five. It was very hot, and one of our kiddos got a little sun burned, but otherwise, it was a great trip.
Not sure what we will be doing next week because Toyota has canceled our tour. Wish they had told me that three months ago when I first called.
We have some options, not sure what we will do.
Kids were wonderful and everyone seemed to have a great time.
