Thursday, we went on a field trip to Kentucky Down Under. It is about an hour north of us.

It started as a cave attraction with a few animals topside to entertain the visitors who were waiting to go through the cave. In the early 1990's, they began to specialize in Australian animals--hence, Kentucky Down Under.

We saw Australian birds, dingos, kangaroos, a black swan, sheep and sheepdog, emus, a white ibis. The kids went through the cave (though the guide didn't give the tour speech--just told them to watch their step). I decided to skip the cave in case I got dizzy again.

We had to leave early--before the snake show, storytelling, and sheep show so that L and I would have time to drop off T, get our books, and get to class.
