Summer Vacation 2011 in Pictures, KY trip

Breaking Dawn
Dawn over the Chesapeake Bay as we headed out of town

006
B-saurus finally conked out

Our first day of driving was low key (for us) since we were stopping in Elizabethtown, KY. However, K suffered from horrible motion sickness through WV. We were glad that we only had a short drive.

007
It's a CASTLE somewhere in KY

We arrived at our hotel late afternoon/early evening and met up with Papa John's friend and his wife.  After dinner and some much needed pool time, the kids crashed.

Our destination on Saturday was Kentucky Down Under.  The kids had a great time.

 L to R:  John, Crazy Uncle Bill, Bsaurus,  Malone, Pat, and Kakes

 Attack of the Lorikeets!


 Brief introduction to the sheep industry, none of my kids were interested in "setting a sheep"

But M volunteered to milk a cow

Caverns, not real safe but fun to explore!



 Petting the Kangaroos was a hit with the kids
