A week ago Friday, we left for a little trip to Omaha for the weekend. That day was pretty laid back, we did a little shopping, and went out to eat, and then spent the rest of the evening in the hotel pool.
Ready to go swimming
At the pool.
This is the 3rd summer we have stayed at this hotel and it's because of the pool. It is very kid friendly.
We got up bright and early to head to the zoo. There we met up with my Mom, Halie, Erin, Jacque & Lacey and their kids. It had been several years since some of them had been to the zoo, so I felt bad because it was one of the worst zoo experiences ever!! It was incredibly hot and extremely crowded. The heat I could tolerate, the crowd I could not. We had several strollers with our bunch so it wasn't the easiest thing to do to maneuver through the crowd, but people are just down right rude.
We got to the point where everyone was ready to get out of there. We were done close to 1pm. We headed back to the hotel and crashed for a bit and then we went swimming.
Later we ordered in pizza and played games and visited. It was a lot of fun!
This monkey was taunting the kids
Posin' by the polar bears. L to R: Jenae, Aubree, Kellen, Tyson, Brooke (too busy looking at the bears) and Cooper.
This bear was swimming right by us
We rode the train so we wouldn't walk out and see all the animals.
