Road Trip to Omaha Zoo

When we started all this traveling my thought was to make one fun stop each trip, but the girls not sleeping didn't make that easy. On Sunday I told them if they slept in the morning in the car we could go to the zoo, and I REALLY wanted to go to the zoo. Grandma had a few words with them before we left too. Whatever was said worked because they slept through Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois! So....we got to go to the zoo.
We spent 5 hours at the zoo and didn't even get to see everything. It was a very nice zoo and an awesome time to go because the weather was perfect and it wasn't very busy. Gotta love, year round school and its week long break weeks!

We loved how awesome the tiger was, how much this ape looked like a man, we were in awe of the iguana's color's and we loved this birds "hair."



We made it just in time to see them feed the Sea Lions. They even got them to do fun things like jump and wave.








We got to see the elephant spray himself and his friend with mud, and the giraffes are just so fascinating to watch
The girls eyed the "skyfari" all day and by the end we decided to give it a try. I wasn't so sure this was a good idea with Karinda not being a big fan of heights but she said she really wanted to do it. The sights were really cool but it was a little out of my comfort zone, I just couldn't let on and Karinda said she was very glad she was brave and gave it a try!




















We went through a butterfly and insect house that was very cool, we say all kinds of beautiful butterflies

We loved the aquarium, they had penguins that were very fun to watch and there was a tunnel we could walk through and the fish could swim over us.


It was fun to see the different sting rays God created. It made me laugh to think that I think of black with white polka dots as a newer trendy style, God made that style thousands of years ago. God, I love your style!
