omaha

 We got to Omaha Wednesday evening.  We were lucky enough to find another bunk bed hotel so the girls got a good night of sleep.

We headed to the Omaha Zoo in the morning.  The girls were so excited!

 We had heard such great things about the zoo, and it did not disappoint!  It was huge and there were so many animals!  Every time I would take a picture the girls would try to act like whatever animal was behind them.  Made me laugh.  The giraffes were Heidi's favorite--she is obsessed with them!

 When we first got to the zoo there were about 12 school buses pulling in.  It was so crowded!!  We avoided the enclosed spaces.  The girls started getting tired and crabby so we went to lunch and almost didn't go back because the two little girls fell asleep in the van.  We went back anyway and we are so glad we did!  The schools were leaving and we felt like we had the zoo to ourselves!  The girls were so glad we went back and we saw so many more things.

 Both girls wanted to pose with all of the animal statues.  They were quite the hit.

Caimbree was her typical angelic self!  Love this little baby of mine.  She really enjoyed all of the animals and would kick her legs excitedly when she saw them move.

It was such a fun day!  Our girls are at great ages for the zoo and it was so fun for Jeff and I to watch their excitement and amazement.
