A trip to the Omaha Zoo

We always love to go to the zoo. This particular day was beautiful and we had lots of fun. This guy was very vocal. We saw him first and he scared the kids. Was a great start to our adventure. :) In the aquarium.

Fun at the Zoo

Grandpa and I spent a wonderful day at the zoo. We saw lots of fun animals. We thought about each of you. Emily, Alise, Luke and Natalie remember the time we surprised you by picking you all up, giving you zoo shirts and going to the zoo. That was really fun. Jonathan and Josiah you would have had sooooo much fun at this zoo. I think even Kate and Jack would have had fun. So we missed you. The only thing that would have made the day better was if you all had been along. So Grandpa took pictures for you to enjoy. Love, Grandpa and Grandma O. This may the closest we,ve ever been to an elephant. A sleeping Gorilla.

Grandma's personal favorite.

This is a Jaguar

A yellow tiger. Remember our tiger book Luke?

A mama lion. The daddy wouldn't look at us.
A white tiger. I remember the first time I saw one of these.

Seals for Joey

This was a BIG seal sunning himself on a rock. We wished we had Joey along as he has been interested in seals lately. Grandpa took these pictures for you Joey.

We got to watch them feed the fish. They tossed them whole fish. The seals also did some simple tricks.
Opps same picture.

Grandma and me

I wish I would have had a picture taken with each of you grandkids but I guess I didn't. Here are the ones I found though. Weren't these the best of times? I think I am missing a picture of me with Alise and Luke.
