Salato Wildlife Center

Saturday, June 3 we had a picnic outing at the Salato Wildlife Center in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Wildlife Center features exhibits of Kentuky wildlife and a zoolike display of animals in their natural habitat. We took our own wildlife with us in the form of our three grandkids. They really aren't wild - they take after their Grandpa.

The Segway, as seen in this picture, wasn't even challanged during our short trek through the woods.

We had a picnic lunch while the geese kept trying to get free handouts. Lil' Rascal finally took off and chased one across the hill before his Mum could catch him. That was one funny sight - Sam chasing the goose, which was honking loudly and wildly flapping its wings in its frantic quest to get away, with Mum bringing up the rear in an effort to apprehend Sam. All ended well however - the goose finally got away and Mum nabbed Sam.
