One of the first animals we saw was a jaguar ...
The newest exhibit is Glacier Run. They have seals, sea lions, grizzly bears, and polar bears. It is a really nice new exhibit with both above ground and underwater viewing areas.
There is a baby polar bear that was recently rescued from Alaska after being separated from her mother and sibling.
Checking out the grizzly bear ...
The leaves were already changing more in Kentucky than they are here ...
There were a bunch of decorations set up through out the zoo that went with different children's stories. We weren't sure if these are always set up or if they were for Halloween. Carter really liked the lollipops that were part of the Hansel and Gretel display ...
There were a ton of gorillas ...
We had a lot of fun at the zoo and got to see some animals they don't have in Knoxville or Nashville.
All the kids napped on the drive back to Lexington. It was a really pleasant drive! When we got back, we took the kids over to the park in Sarah's neighborhood. Mary Grace rode her big bike and Carter got to ride her old tricycle. He has the same one in green but didn't mind at all that this one was pink (he did keep calling it red though).
Rylan LOVED the slide.
I think Carter was worn out from the zoo because he wasn't even close to keeping up with Mary Grace as they ran across this field!
Keeping the kids so busy meant both boys slept well every night. Carter slept in a playyard in Mary Grace's room and Rylan was in a playyard in my room. They both went to bed a little after Mary Grace each night since I kept there schedule on Central Time. I was hoping that meant they'd sleep in but they were up early every morning. Oh well.
