Ark Encounter

Nana and Grandpa were excited to take the kids to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in Kentucky and I got to tag along as a final hurrah before teacher work week. We went to the Creation Museum the first night. 

They had a nice botanical garden there as well!

The next day we headed to the Ark Encounter. It's hard to capture it's size in a picture! We were probably 200 yards away here:

There was a kangaroo exhibit that you could walk through. You could only touch the kangaroos if they were on the path and it was evident that the kangaroos had that figured out!

Willow tried the camel back ride!

The inside of the ark was massive! It was 4 floors and had videos and displays throughout. We did lots of reading!!

The structure was incredible!

That evening the kids enjoyed some time at the hotel's pool.

The next day we checked out the Cincinnati Zoo. It was great!

Willow and I fed the giraffes:

We listened to a cool presentation on cheetahs and were able to see their speed!

This little squirrel is going to have some cholesterol issues if he keeps hanging out around the cafe!

My first job was at Baskin Robbins and you hardly see them anymore! We grabbed some ice cream to go before hitting the road to come home!
