Kentucky Down Under...

There's a place not far from our house called Kentucky Down Under.  We decided to explore it and we had a great time!  We got to tour historic Mammoth Onyx Cave, watch awesome herding dogs work magic with a flock of sheep, visit with some kangaroos and emus on a walkabout, watch a bird show, visit a petting zoo, and more!!

This dog was awesome!  He's a great pyrenees.  They had a couple of these dogs just freely roaming the grounds along with some border collies that would randomly bring you a tennis ball to throw for them.  This dog was so mellow and followed us along while we toured the grounds.  There was no owner or handler in sight.  What a good dog!  Made me want to own one but I know he'd turn my house into a snow globe with all of his shedding.  The girls loved him!



This isn't a great picture because the sun was in the way but I love in anyways.  Evelyn is rough, but it's so clear she loves her baby sister. 


After the bird show, Lorelai wanted to hold "Remy"

...she looks nervous to me

...checking out this little dude...


And the dog is walking along with us...our personal tour guide

Here are some pictures of our walkabout.  We pet and fed some kangaroos and tortoises...the emu were a little terrifying but very neat!


The emu liked to sneak up behind you (they're pretty stealthy for a large bird) and they'd peck food out of your cup

The girls fed the kangaroos, but did NOT want to feed the emu


...a little baby kangaroo...

...and for your viewing pleasure...a hilarious video of Evelyn trying to feed the one of the emu
