Zoo Trip!

The kids and I had the opportunity to attend the Omaha Zoo with some friends a few weeks ago!

It was a fantastic day with great weather and great kids!!

Friends and Neighbors!

In the Aquarium!

Sharks!

Watching Penguins!

 

All Kiptyn wanted to do was ride the train!

He was sooo excited when we finally got on...and because the zoo is a very special thing for us and we don't go very often, we purchased wrist bands for a day of fun...so he got to ride twice!!

Train Ride!!

Watching the Penguins get fed!

Sea Lion feedings and training!

 

The new exhibit at the zoo is being able to touch a sting ray!

These things are so cool...and a bit slimy! They will come right up to your hand wanting to be touched...and they really like it if you have fish in your hand for them!

Kieran got the most enjoyment out of the string rays. He was a bit skeptical the first time, but we went back later (thanks to our wristbands) and he had no fear!

 

The boys and I rode the Skyfari!

This was a first for us at the zoo....it was neat being up so high and seeing lots of fun things!

 

 

We saw so many animals that day....but we still didn't see them all!

 

All this fun wears a girl out!

The kids had great behavior all day and I wasn't sure how long we would be able to stay because I figured Chloe might need a nap. But, she never fussed or whined the whole day...we were able to spend the whole day making memories at the zoo!
