Saturday was so cool! We went to the zoo with Bert's AIA (American institute of architects) group. We were able to go behind the gate and pet Scotty the baby elephant'. We also ate lunch in a room where you could see the animals through the big glass window. During the lunch they gave a presentation on the new polar bear exhibit called Glacier Run. In Churchill, Canada there are lots of polar bears on the brink of extinction. Architects and students from Louisville have gone here to research polar bears and the town. Glacier run will be a replica of the town. If anyone has been to Disney World lately and seen any of their attractions this is what Glacier Run will look like. Disney likes to make their attractions as realistic as possible even flying in people from around the world to work in the countries they re-created at their Epcot park. Glacier run will be the same may minus the flying in of people to work at the Louisville zoo. Glacier run will also feature seals and sea otters. This whole project will stretch over 5 acres, and take five years to complete. Exciting times are coming for the Louisviille zoo!
Looks like Ava really enjoyed herself, along with mommy & daddy! Leo and Gus are going to the Zoo tomorrow and I asked Grammy to attend with Ava. I am sure now that Ava has been to the Zoo so often, she should be able to point out the highlight to us. It will be a short but fun time! Keep those pictures coming. She is getting, if possible, cuter ever day!!
