Nebraska Zoo and The Trip Home

 
I want to thank my Edward and Julie AGAIN for our wonderful Zoo Membership - without it,this trip to the Nebraska Zoo would have not been possible. The Zoo's all across America work with each other and we get free or half admission in most Zoo's. We will probably be going to the zoo in New Orleans this year also - that will be a free one with our zoo membership!
 
Before our trip to the zoo, we went up the observation tower at the park - it was a bit chilly up there and very windy. The tower kept moving - right after this picture was snapped, everyone ran back down!

the desert dome - this was a neat place where the animals were literally able to walk up to you.

Card thought this was a fake bird - until he walked up to it and it "puffed up". He saw why real quick - she had eggs under her!

Thomas was pointing and saying "dat? dat?" the entire time - he was really engaged and loved every minute of the zoo!

a pretty owl

this was especially for my Grandpa King - who loves road runners so much, I just had to snap this for him.....strangely enough, there were no lizards in the desert dome...

I have just always wanted to have a picture of a bunny silhouette in a log

One of Katie's favorite- the fruit bat. She was pretty amazed that this guy could just fly around us if he wanted too.

The Shrew


Can you imagine having this fish on your line!? Oh, from some of the stories I have heard - some of you already have...

our little brood

The baby :)

this was the view of our front yard a lot of mornings


About half way there - one side of the van was always hot, hence the blankets

The baby again :)
