Monday was “Funday” for the family. We headed to Omaha to visit the zoo there for the first time. We had a great time! The girls did very well.
Lily loves Elephants. Until recently most every animal was an Elephant. So I couldn’t wait to see what she’d do when she saw them. Her response was totally “lack luster”. I like to think that she was just too emotionally overwhelmed with the experience….star struck, you know how it is.
They even gave her the show of a lifetime!
At the Gorilla House.

and tigers! Most were sleeping when we walked past, a bit of a downer, but we couldn’t blame them, it was a scorching 79 degrees!
A trip to the desert.
This is what Phil would look like if he were in Africa.
The Aquarium was a favorite spot for all.
Especially Clara who was so emotionally overwhelmed by all the fish and coped by sleeping through the whole thing.
The jellyfish were cool and if you didn’t notice… GLOWING.
On the way home Clara wouldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had at the zoo until we reminded her that uh, she slept the entire time.
