the best zoo!

On Saturday we actually didn't have any soccer games and baseball season hasn't yet started so we decided to use our only "free" Saturday we will have for awhile to take a trip to the best zoo ever!
What zoo is this you ask?  The Omaha Zoo!  Now we love our Kansas City Zoo and have annual membership passes to visit it as much as we want, but nothing can really compare to the Omaha Zoo {well nothing as in KC Zoo or St. Louis Zoo because that's the only zoos I have been too ;)}.  They really have so much packed into one little area and the aquarium is like nothing else we have in the Midwest.  Last year we made our first trip there and decided it needs to be a yearly or at least bi-yearly trip.  Since we only live about 3 hours away it's not that bad of a day trip.  So we loaded up the van and headed off at 6 Saturday morning.  We arrived soon after the zoo opened and stayed until our little Evan couldn't keep his eyes open anymore {yes, Evan and not Ellie...she was still fairing pretty good because she had a little nap on the way up}, and headed back home around 3:30.  Just enough time to make it through all the major attractions at the zoo.  Favorite parts?  The aquarium {of course} and the desert dome!  Here's a little look at our day in pictures:




















Then on Sunday at church Avery recreated the whole zoo :)...
