Vacation - Day 2 - The Zoo

The Indianapolis Zoo was a good time. We went to the Butterfly Pavillion first. Bridget gave us a lesson on butterfly metamorphus. Which cocoons were about to hatch, why a couple of butterflies were still in the incubator box (their wings are still wet and they can't fly). She had a great time being in charge.
With Bridget as our zoo guide (having attended Zoo Camp last summer) we headed off to view the seals. Next, the visiting Adorable Duo - the Koala bears. They do a lot of sleeping - over 18 hours a day! One was sleeping but one was eating. The drawback was they are behind glass and sometimes the glare makes them hard to see and pictures are pretty much impossible. The dolphin show was a big hit.
Today we are going to the State Fair. It will be a nice family affair since Joe is taking off work to go with us. We are looking forward to ice cream at the end of the day. Last year we had this fabulous ice cream (inexpensive, too!) at the Dairy Barn.
