Zoo Day

This Saturday we went to the Omaha Zoo with our good friends. We left early that morning to try to beat the crowds of people that would be there for the college world series games (which is right next to the zoo). Unfortunately, it still took us an extra hour to go about 5 blocks. While we were stuck in traffic we had a great time people watching all the thousands of people tailgating . These people are pretty serious about their tailgating parties. They had couches and multiple grills with tons of food. Pretty impressive stuff! The other funny thing was that people that live in the surrounding neighborhoods sell their yard for parking or for different vendors to come in and sell their stuff. It was nuts! Anyway, back to the zoo... we had the perfect weather and no rain! So great! We saw tons of animals and even saw a random wedding going on at a pavilion right next to the zebras.-Seriously...who has their wedding at the zoo?! Must have been a zoo employee romance or something like that. haha We made some good memories at the zoo that day including Chad mowing me over with the stroller while we raced up the hill. I totally would have won if he hadn't taken me out. :)

Here's the cool train that we didn't ride cause it was a ripe off. Major bummer!
I think giraffes are so cool
These orangutans were hilarious trying to get people to feed them. They know exactly what to do.


Matt had a great time in the jungle!
Poor Carson was exhausted. I love this picture of Chad feeding him! So sweet!

Look at these two boys with all the baby gear.
Couldn't get Carson to look at us for one picture
Cute Matt and Traci. We love these guys!
My little lion
And my other little lion. haha What a goof!

How fun! We got a zoo pass this year, and I'm loving watching all the animals; thought I must say, the Omaha zoo looks WAY cooler than our little Hogle Zoo. Your little guy is getting so big! He's just darling! Hope you're well!
