Indianapolis Zoo

What was supposed to be a "family" trip with our friends the Brinsons....ended up like any other "activity" day. Amanda, Natalie, Lane and me! The daddy's both had to work at the last minute!! BOO!!!!
Nevertheless, we had an excellent time! Lane was fascinated with the swimming animals like the polar bear or walrus and even the little fish amazed him. I can't even begin to count the number of times I heard, "WHOA!!!!" or "Mommy..Mommy...WHOA!!!!"


We watched an elephant take a bath and was able to feed a giraffe. We sat through a nice dolphin show. (Let's be honest, after you've been to Sea World's dolphin show....everything else suffers by comparison) We did get a walrus to wave to us which was exciting b/c I didn't know they could do that.



Lane rode a pony all by himself. I asked if he wanted me to walk with him and I got a very firm and loud, "NO!". He is very independent and I am quickly learning that he is not, in any way, my baby boy anymore.



He tackled a goat when he was only supposed to pet it. But it was as little as Raider and had dark hair, so in his defense, it could have been a very stinky dog with horns ... he was just too excited to know the difference.



His absolute favorite exhibit was two brown bears playing in a little pond. He laughed until he got the hiccups. (Like mommy, like son) I literally had to bribe him with a train ride to get him to leave the bears. They were very very cute.



All in all, we had a great day! And we drove by the Colts stadium....can't wait for the fall!! I might become a Colts fan after all. :)
Much love,
Nikki
