Lions and Tigers and Horses?

Anyone who knows Mac, knows that he's obsessed with animals. Even when he sees a Robin 10 times in a day he acts like it's the first time he's seen it and freaks out. So we thought it would be fun to take him to the Cincinnati Zoo with the people he loves most.

Mac would sit on Grandpa Millar's shoulders and play with his hair. It was a win, win situation. Mac was entertained while grandpa got a head massage.
My favorite were the gorillas. The moms were so tender with their babies.
The white tiger

So independent Mac was overly excited at every exhibit.


We all enjoyed the zoo so much we are already planning another trip. You can't come to Lexington and not expereince the horse industry. Saturday morning we woke up and went to Keeneland for a nice breakfast and to watch the horses work. It was Derby day so there were a lot of people there handicapping and tailgating for the big race.
It was a rainy morning but Mac was prepared with his rain boots and rain coat. He had so much fun splashing in all the puddles.

Later we made our way to Taylor Made farm. After the tour of the stallion barns the girls left to put Mac down for a nap while the men stayed for a breeding session. Lucky them:) I've seen it once and I don't care to ever see it again.

We had such a fantastic weekend with the grandparents. Thank you again for taking time off work and time from the other siblings to be here for the big weekend! We love you.

I have never been up to the Cinci zoo. It looks like fun. We have a pass to the Louisville zoo, so we always head there.

So fun that your families are in town. It is so fun to have visitors.

And you look great! You only have this cute belly. Not much longer now!
