We toured the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. Very neat. We were not allowed to take any pictures on the tour but it was cool to see. Approximately 1.8 million Louisville Slugger bats are made every year. About 3,000 bats are made per day at the factory in Louisville.
Ken Griffey, Jr wax statue in the museum.
The Babe.
Derek Jeter.
The role of women in baseball - this is for my niece, Abby.
Our little sluggers.
The world's biggest bat sits outside of the Louisville Slugger factory in downtown Louisville.
It weighs 68,000 pounds and stands 120 feet tall.
It is an exact scale replica of Babe Ruth's 34-inch Louisville Slugger bat.
The glove sculpture is titled "Play Ball" and was handcrafted from 450 million year old Kentucky limestone.
From Louisville, we headed north into Indiana. We visited Fair Oaks Farm in Fair Oaks, Indiana.
This is an operating dairy farm and is Indiana's largest agritourism destination.
A cow carousel!
String cheese maze.
Jumping pillow.
So mommy really had fun on this, so did Lucas. Hannah - not so much.
Brent and I are farm kids. We understand the life-cycle of animals and plants in agriculture. Even so, this place was cool to visit. We took the bus tour to the farm to see just a fraction of the 32,000 cows at Fair Oaks. Every day there are 80-100 calves born at the farms. The tour shows the feed stuffs that are used to give the best nutrition to the herd, the barns that animals eat and rest in, the milking parlor and even the anaerobic digester the farm uses to turn manure into fuel.
