Kangaroos!

I absolutely adore these kangaroos!  I mean, I love the ones at the Fort Wayne zoo too, but the way these always look so sad just is too cute.  I had an amazing time in with these kangaroos.  For a long time, it was just me and a zoo worker.  I was carefully and quietly moving around them to take pictures of them as many were in the path way.  Before I was finally ready to head out of their enclosure to keep working my way through the zoo, I stopped to chat with the zoo worker in with them.  At some point in our conversation, she mentioned that I could pet them as long as I always stayed on the path and only pet their backs, away from their faces.  I was blown away.  I immediately went up to the closest one on the path so I could pet it.  The lady offered to take my picture with the one I was petting.  It was such an awesome experience and I am so grateful to have pictures to remember it by!

Dolphin Show

 These uploaded in reverse order and I'm too lazy to fix it.  Haha!  I was so excited when I realized that I could see the dolphin show at the Indy zoo with no extra charge - it was included in the admission fee.  I will say that I distinctly remember getting a bazillion notifications on my phone and being very distracted and then disappointed when I realized the show was over and I wasn't really paying attention.  But I'm sure I'll end up at the Indy zoo at some point this summer and can see this again.  😊

Monkeys

 I love watching the monkeys because there are just so many of them!  Everywhere I looked I could find at least one.  I liked watching them interact as little groups for grooming.  Too cute!

Sea Life

 Last November, my husband and I were in Indy again.  I don't actually remember exactly why, but probably for him to speak at a conference.  I wasn't able to be with him, so I went to the Indy Zoo.  I didn't think it would be a good plan for a day in November, but the weather was actually really nice!  I had just been there in July, so definitely wasn't expected to go twice in a year.  But I just love going to zoos when traveling anywhere.  Anyways, I'm finally getting around to posting all of the pictures from that day.

Kangaroos and Joeys

I always enjoy spending lots of time watching and photographing the kangaroos with their joeys.  They are so entertaining and clearly have unique personalities.  I really liked seeing the adults interacting with one another.  Watching the babies play with leaves and sticks was pretty adorable as well.
