The Louisville Zoo with the Johnsons

The Louisville Zoo does a great job of celebrating Halloween during the month of October.  The whole zoo is covered with decorations and although we did not take part in it, at night they apparently have the biggest trick or treating venue in the region.  Yet while we didn't collect any candy we had fun poking our heads through the various character cut outs they had set up throughout the place.

We made this trip with the Johnsons, and it was especially fun to see Emerson react to the animals. Reese, Callie, Vivie, and Mason ran around from exhibit to exhibit pointing out new animals to Emerson.  This little guy certainly does not suffer from lack of attention.


All the kids jumped at the chance to ride on the carousel.  In fact, because we went in the middle of the week there was no line and instead of having to get off at the end of the ride we all got to pick another animal and take another spin.


These four certainly seen their share of adventures over the last five years and they get along really well together. They all seem to keep each other in check while insuring no one is left out. It's the perfect balance of siblings and friends.


With that being said, Emerson only adds to the fun. It will be interesting to see how he pushes his way into the mix as he gets older. And all signs indicate that he will have no problem pushing his way in. So we mark another fall celebration together and look forward to more fun times with the Johnsons in the seasons to come.
