The Louisville zoo brought out the animal in Max, Jack, and twins William and Marie as they explored the animal habitats and acted out animal sounds on the carousel. Because Max has read "Goodnight, Gorilla" 963 times recently, he was thrilled to race around the gorilla enclosure introducing himself to his favorite characters!
The evening brought an outdoor party with a bounce house that was the perfect size for pint sized party goers. Max was thrilled to bounce with Ansley, although a few of the older kids had trouble jumping off the inflatable wall without landing on him. One boy would yell, "Look out, baby!" and then launch himself like a cannonball on the victims below. More time with Jack and a quick visit with Amanda and Jasper made the night even better.
The main event of the weekend was Nana and Papa Mike's Anniversary Party! Despite an aching ear and temperatures that were much chillier than expected, Max did his part to liven up the gathering. Showing off for his grandparents' friends, blowing bubbles, chasing his cousins, and climbing the gorgeous staircase of the historic home kept Max busy, busy, busy until the long drive home to SC. And then, the party animal slept - even the wildest animal must rest eventually. Goodnight, Gorilla.
Congratulations, Bev and Mike, and cheers to many more happy years!
