Omaha Zoo

Last weekend the girls and I drove to Omaha to go to the zoo with some friends. And yes, it was worth the two hour drive! We had never been before and it was so much fun. It's a big zoo with so many things to see and we didn't even see it all. I want to go back sometime with Jason. Here are a few pictures of our visit. Okay, a lot of pictures. :)

Madison and her friend Oakley. I just thought it was

so cute I snapped a picture.

Oakley, Maddie, and Brenna


Maddie and her friends

I'd already taken 4 or 5 pictures trying to get them to look at the camera.

Brenna: mom, if I smile this time will you please stop? Enough is enough!

Maddie with the pretty macaws

Brenna doing her favorite thing: taking off her shoes and trying to lose them!

Ahhhh, sweet success

Get me outta here! Poor girl, I made her stay in the stroller all day.

The kids feeling a zebra skin

Maddie in the aquarium

I think she was either pointing at a shark or a sea turtle

The only picture with all three of us - at the butterfly pavilion

Standing in front of the train we rode. By this time, they'd had enough and were

done cooperating for pictures!

Madison had her first dance class two weeks ago and is loving it. She has three friends from our ward in her class as well as a friend from preschool.

Isn't she adorable?

Here she is dancing! :)
