Indianapolis Zoo

Mamaw and GrandBob won a chance to watch one of the Indianapolis Zoo's elephants paint, which included a private tour of the zoo. We were lucky enough to get to go with them plus Uncle Rob & Aunt Jenny. We had an amazing time and Brendan was very, very good all morning!

Watching the ducks...he's very into ducks...even tries to call them by saying "Duc, Duc" really, really loudly!


Then we checked on the Alaskan Brown Bears who were quite playful early in the morning. These are actually a brother and sister pair that were rescued from Alaska after their mother was killed for harassing hikers.



I think that everyone was looking at the birds (? bald eagle). Brendan calls them "tweet tweets".


Monkeys! They came over right away to check out Brendan ;)


Look at me!


Tombi Paints!









Dolphin Show
Most of my pictures just didn't turn out well...it's dark inside when the show is going on and their back drop makes the dolphins just blend in when they're in the air in my opinion.



Walruses!
We also got to go behind the scenes with the walruses and feed and pet them!



Brendan didn't seem scared at all! The trainers were very impressed. They said that most small children totally freak out.


Walruses have an amazing sucking power...they will suck small fish thru a tube!
