Omaha Zoo

Thursday night Steve and I got started talking about possibly going to Omaha over the weekend. We didn't have anything planned, we don't have THAT many free weekends coming up, so about 9 pm Thursday night we booked a hotel in Omaha for Friday night. Friday I left work early, we went home and packed and then picked up the kids about 4:00 and headed out of town. We decided to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse in Council Bluffs and see our friend Brandon who is a manager there. We got right in and had awesome service and was able to chat with Brandon off and on while we were there.
We headed to the hotel, got checked in and decided to walk around a bit since the sun was still out and we had no time frame or schedule!
We got back to the hotel and for some reason Steve talked me into staying another night, so we booked Saturday night also! Then we did some swimming! The pool was so busy but it didn't bother Presley at all! Piper, on the other-hand, got out and dried her face off every time she got splashed!
Always posing...she wanted me to take a picture to send to grandma!

I set my alarm for 8:30 Saturday morning, thinking my kids would sleep in! I was wrong. 7:30 they were awake! What? They should've been tired!!! Oh wait Piper was tired, all day! She was whiny and broke down crying many times. We got there about 10, the weather was perfect, no exhibits were TOO busy so it was nice! 
She wasn't too tired to pose for the camera!
 For the last couple weeks she has been telling us that monkeys are her favorite animal, not pigs anymore.
 I have a picture of 18 month old Presley with this too!









 The most ferocious animal in the zoo this day....the PIPER!
 Presley trying to reason with the tired animal!

 The gorillas are one of the best exhibits!
 Baby gorilla!


 Rock on sister!
 In the bear area they had these statues, I think they were supposed to be bears? either way, Piper wanted her picture taken with ALL of them.




 She found a pig!
We stayed at the zoo until about 2 pm, we were all worn out! So we headed back to the hotel.
