Little Wonders: We're going to the zoo!

Henry Doorly Zoo

Omaha, Nebraska

This weekend, Grandma MK made a trip to Omaha to visit us. She heard all about how difficult it was for me to drop Addy at daycare for the first time on Friday, and thought we all needed a fun weekend. Addy did "ok" at daycare, but when I picked her up, she was sitting in the corner by herself crying. Supposedly, she woke up from her nap and wasn't sure what was going on. That got Grandma right in the heart; so she decided to head to Omaha. We had a great time; the best time of the weekend was on Sunday morning, we hit the Omaha Zoo. It was even better than I had remembered. And given Addy's love for animals, we knew she would love it!

She did very well. Although, after Friday's episode with daycare, she hasn't slept well and has been overtired. She got very tired half way through, but finished the tour before lunch. The weather was beautiful for a trip to the zoo. Actually, early morning we needed jackets! Can you believe it? We ended up taking a trip on the new skyfari, which takes you above the zoo. Addy's favorite exhibit was probably the aquarium or the cat complex with the tigers. She got a kick out of the penguins!

After the zoo, we hit Quaker Steak and Lube, which to those whom haven't been there, you need to go. It was wonderful. We ate at this restaurant every time we went to visit the Hough's in Erie, PA and we just found out that one had opened in Council Bluffs. Josie is thrilled! Overall, thanks G'ma for the wonderful weekend. After Friday, the honestly worst day of my life, the weekend was needed. We had a blast as a family and couldn't thank you enough! Enjoy our pics from the zoo!
