Vacation Day 2

Friday we headed to the Omaha Zoo and started off in the Desert where it was hot and stinky.

We didn't have to tell Oliver what these were, he just started saying "oink oink." I guess in his almost 2 year head they looked a lot like pigs.

A lizard (it wasn't real, mommy wouldn't have let him touch that if it were)  

The orangatangs were very noisy, you could hear them all over the park

The aquarium is amazing at this zoo. The penguins were a big hit with all 3 of them. Oliver loved to watch them jump and fly into the air the dive into the water. 

The big aquarium is a tunnel you walk through, Oliver had the biggest amazed look on his face when we entered it. 

More monkeys

We were so thankful that around 11:00 Oliver fell asleep in the stroller so at least he would have a small nap. It lasted only about 40 minutes but it was well needed.  

He missed feeding the fish though when he was napping so Shawn made up for it and fed them instead.  

We went on a train ride around the park after a picnic lunch to see some animals that weren't visible when walking. 

There was a petting zoo with farm animals that I think besides the choo choo was his favorite part. He had to pet each and every goat. Those goats are so well trained, just sit there and let kids pull on them and step on them and hit their faces.  

He thought the donkey was so funny when it bucked and heehawed

We headed back to Colleen and Darrin's house for a short rest before going out to eat for supper. The kids had no trouble going to bed this night and neither did the adults.
