Even though we did our research ahead of time and knew there was a spray park in the zoo, we still forgot to bring the kids' swimsuits with us! We thought about just walking past the park quickly and hoping the kiddos didn't notice, but the day was hot and we really wanted them to play in the water to cool off. So, I did one of those things that was on my "Things I'll Never Do When I'm a Parent" list; let them play in their street clothes and just a diaper for Dakota!
I've been told that seeing your babies sleeping never gets old, no matter their age!
The Indy Zoo just had an elephant give birth. Actually, they had several different animals with new babies, but I thought the baby elephant was amazing. She was just weeks old and I've never seen an elephant so small.
We caught a few shows that day. One of the coolest was the zookeepers giving an elephant his daily bath.
Sissy was waving at the elephant as he made his way to the arena.
We all took a turn petting the elephant. It felt a lot different than we expected.
A super cool exhibit was the opportunity to pet a shark. I was a little weary at first, but Jason thought I'd regret it if I didn't take the opportunity to do it. He's probably right, so I went for it. Jax wasn't as interested and never would stick his hands in the water.
