Drew, Nikki & Parker: Henry's Ark

Last Saturday, I believe it was, we took a little family trip to discover a gem of Louisville. Its a free, non-profit zoo called Henry's ark. You know the movie - We bought a zoo? Yeah its not really like that at all. Most of the animals are kind of farm animals: goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits. There were a couple llamas, a camel, an ostrich, some Emus, deer, maybe bison off in a field, and maybe a water buffalo? Most of the animals had holdings close to eachother and the owners just kept the gates open between them so the animals mixed, minus a few. But one thing we did really like was that you could feed the animals. I bought a 2 lb bag of carrots just for the trip. I'll bring more for next time because those deer sure can eat.

the goats would just come up to the fence and put their front legs on it waiting for food.

P watching some kids feed the goats.

I cant remember for sure, but this guy didnt have like any teeth. It really wanted the carrot though. Drew was worried he'd choke.

well hello there minster camel. this guy was tall!

see what I mean about standing on the fence?

P got brave enough to feed the goats. He thought it was pretty funny. this carrot was actually for the tan goat, but the brown one stole it.

P finds joy in everything, even this garbage can wheel. haha

for some reason when we were at the deer, Parker kept wanted to poke them

they had the nicest deer!

another joy Parker found. an empty kiddy pool. he loved it!

this was probably his favorite thing at Henrys ark, this lawn cement frog. He just bounced on it saying ribbit ribbit. It made it quite the hot commodity for other kids. he cried when we went to see more animals and he couldnt sit on it anymore.
