Indianapolis Zoo

We have finally done a little exploring in Indianapolis!  When we left Clovis it was 90 degrees and we were wearing shorts, tank tops and sandals.   And then we stepped off the plane in Indianapolis and were back to wearing jeans, jackets and shoes. Boo! It has been raining a lot here too.  We haven't had a lot of outside time lately and were starting to get a little stir crazy.  But we finally had a Sunday where it was 84 degrees (and what felt like 100% humidity) and sunny so we jumped at the chance to go the Indianapolis Zoo.  How it went from 65 and rainy to 84 and sunny in a days time is beyond me.  I can't seem to keep up with the changes. 

The zoo was pretty entertaining.  They had a dog show with trained dogs doing tricks that Harlow LOVED.  Loved is an understatement.  She was clapping along and cheering and dancing. I can never get enough of seeing her reaction to new things that she loves.  Lennox enjoyed herself too and only slept the last 20 minutes we were there.  They had a separate exhibit house right outside of the zoo that was basically a butterfly haven.  You walk through a greenhouse like building and they are just flying around everywhere.  They are all different shapes, sizes and colors.  It was pretty neat to see all of them up close. We were able to see most of the animals but we missed the dolphin show so hopefully we'll get the chance to go back before the summer is over.

I'd say Lennox had a good time.

So unlike California, a lady obviously from Indiana actually came over and offered to take a picture of all of us together.  

She doesn't like the birds because of how loud they are.  She even does this at the pet store.

Of course she had to ride the carousel. 

And of course she chose to ride the lion.

She looks so tall in this picture!

Checking out the giraffes. 

They had two baby elephants. To me, this made the trip worth it! They were so cute I just wanted to hug one.

We wore her out and let her walk the entire time.  She even told me after her nap that she was still tired. I'd call that a successful trip.

The humidity wreaks havoc on Lennox's hair.

Can't wait to see what other fun things Indianapolis has to offer!
