Indy Zoo

We took the boys to the zoo this morning and it was a perfect day. It was warm with a nice breeze and not too hot. The park was not too busy either! The highlight of the trip was the train ride. Once we got on the train, Adam's mouth was in the shape of a "o" for quite a while! He was in awe. They really liked the dome under the dolphin tank too--the dolphins just swim all around you! But Adam really enjoyed the ducks. Yes, the ducks. There were ring-tailed lemers and flamingoes at the same pond, but they really enjoyed the ducks! They had a really nice cheetah exhibit, but they just kinda laid around. We just missed seeing the tigers though, it comes in a few weeks. The boys enjoyed the penguins alot too. They could swim under you and pop up on both sides of you. So it was fun to try and keep track of them.

Overall, it's a very nice zoo. But our little one here in Lafayette (which is free!) does a pretty good job actually. Alex wanted to know where the playground was when we left the zoo today. The one here is right next to a park that has some very nice playground equipment. :)

Alex loved following this turtle. And yes, it actually moved all over!
