Zebra’s, Emus and Deer, oh my!
On Tuesday, we went to a petting zoo called “Henry’s Ark” down the road from our house where the only cost for admission is a bag of carrots to feed the animals. It was a lot of fun and Maddie was able to feed goats, many different kinds of birds, African porcupines, deer and last, but surely not least, zebras! (Madddie’s favorite animal) We also got to feed bigger birds like Emus and Ostriches.

Yesterday Maddie & I, along with my brother Mark, his wife April and their
children Bailey and Hailey went to the Red River Gorge for a day of climbing and
rappelling. Overall, we had a great time!

This past weekend, we spent some time at Otter Creek Park where we visited Morgan’s Cave – much to our surprise, we couldn’t get in!
There is a sign inside the cave that I read with a flashlight that says that they have closed it off because the Gray Bats that live in the cave are very afraid of humans. During the summer months – when many people visit the cave – the Gray Bats will have their babies. The mother bats are so afraid of humans, in fact, that if a person enters the cave, the mother will drop her flightless baby and then the baby will drown in the river at the bottom of the cave.
