Indy Zoo with friends!

This past Monday, since we were in Indy we invited the Vernon family to meet us and head to the Indianapolis Zoo with us. We knew Cary was on vacation this week and thought the kids would have a ball. We were either going to head to the zoo or to the Children's Musuem and since the weather was awesome outside we decided to head to the zoo and enjoy the outdoors. Are these 2 kids not the cutest things. They are so cute when we get together. I hope they continue to be the best of friends as the grow older.

A lot of the animals at the zoo were outside and playful. I think they enjoyed the weather just as much as we did. On this day particular there was a 40% chance of rain, however, it held off for us. It was like high 70's, maybe even 80 and the sun was shining.
We all headed towards the carousel, recommended by Savannah, and all got to participate and ride an animal. Austin even got to enjoy and have his first carousel ride.

At last we got to ride the train, recommended by McKinley of course. It is so funny and awesome at seeing how excited McKinley gets when riding and even talking about the train ride. Savannah and McKinley even sat by themselves for not one but two train rides. The 4 of us adults I think just enjoyed the moment of sitting and being able to relax for a few short minutes.

We had a great time at the zoo and could not have asked for a better day. We closed down the park and as we were leaving the rain started pouring. We got out of there at the perfect timing. As we continued to drive and the Semmler's headed towards Avon to pack up and head back to Terre Haute and the Vernon's headed towards Terre Haute we came across some really bad weather. What was supposed to be just bad storms turned into tornado watches with heavy heavy rain and even some lovely hail. All I could think of was my new car and nowhere to cover it. Thankfully, no damage was done. We ended up staying at the grandparents until the storms passed and then headed to Terre Haute and the Vernon's hit Plainfield for some shopping and dinner before heading home. Thanks for a good day.
