Henry Doorly Zoo

We drove to Omaha on Friday June 26th and spent the day swimming at the hotel and shopping at Cabela's and Bass Pro. We ate supper at Brett's favorite resaurant~Famous Dave's.
On Saturday morning we arrived at the Henry Doorly Zoo and were the first people through the gate when they opened at 8:30am.

A view of the newest addition to the zoo~The Skyfari!


Collin was not too excited about getting his picture taken in front of the sleeping sea lions.

Carson and Mommy rode the Skyfari. Carson thought it was a blast and told me, "I'm not nervous at all!" We both were a bit surprised when we saw our family practitioner, Dr. Becker, and his family on the ride. We also were staying in the same hotel~Embassy Suites in La Vista.

Carson enjoyed climbing on the spider web after the train ride across the zoo.

Our last stop of the day was the aqaurium. It is such a neat place to walk through, however, everyone was tired and crabby at that point.

Carson fell asleep within minutes of getting on the interstate, but Collin managed to stay awake (he had a nap in the carrier at the zoo)!

Everyone enjoyed the time we got to spend together on our little "getaway" to Omaha. Both boys slept fairly well in the hotel and really enjoyed swimming.
Sorry this post took me so long! I've been having troubles downloading the pictures onto my blog! There were many more pictures taken at the zoo, but I gave up on trying to get them on here. Sorry!
