This past weekend we took a trip to Louisville, KY - the main purpose was to pick up some chairs for a customers of ours at our business (Anderson Office Interiors for those of you who do not know) but we also wanted to do a couple of fun things too so we made stops at Churchill Downs, Jim Beam Distillery and the Nashville Zoo. We could not take the tour of Churchill Downs, much to my disappointment since it was Derby Week but I still snapped a pic of the new statue of Barbaro which they had just unveiled the day before we visited, so that was pretty cool. We just made a quick stop at the distillery, they are not yet set up to do "guided tours" so we just walked around and snapped a couple of pics and continued on to the zoo. Our family is big on animals and zoos, so this was fun for everyone! My favorite of which I'll post a pic, were the white tigers that were sisters roughhousing with each other, they were just like regular kittens, only way bigger and their teeth were biting completely through this rubber planter they were playing with. Here are some pics from our stops:
Miss Olivia is very happy to be at the zoo!
The gorgeous white tigers (big and small)
Owen enjoyed himself too (notice the zoo-themed shirt, the shorts matched although you can't see in this pic...yes, I do try to have my kids "match" for whatever activity they are participating in....just me and my OCD!
What a beautiful kitty....looks like a Bengal cat we used to have...about 80lbs heavier though!
Here is a meerkat...they are tiny little creatures.
Olivia posing with Mr. Jim Beam (I think so anyway, the original Mr. Beam that is).
The new Barbaro tribute statue at Churchhill Downs....very cool to see in person.
