Over the past few weeks I worked extra days due to statewide testing. Thankfully, Marshma and Papa, as well as Aunt Paige, were in town and could help on those extra days. One bonus, however, was that I was off work on Thursday, which also happens to be Creed's day off. We decided to take the boys to one of our favorite places, Salato Wildlife Center, just outside of Frankfort. There were a few field trips there that day, but we were still able to enjoy all the animals and beautiful scenery.
(Salato is great- it's FREE and you really get to see a lot. All of the animals (bison, bear, elk, wildcat, turkeys, deer, fish, etc.) are native to Kentucky and it seems more natural than the zoo. We really enjoy the walking paths and always take a picnic lunch.)

I brought somewhat stale crackers to feed the ducks, but Luke caught sight of them. I think he ate half the package while we were there!
I have to say, this skunk was the highlight of my day! I think the only time I've ever seen a skunk in the past has been either in movies or dead on the side of the road, so it was neat seeing it up close. We were convinced they took the smelly stuff away- at least we were hoping so! ;)
