Vacation: Day 2

Our second day in Omaha was spent totally at the zoo.  To help beat the heat, we headed to the zoo as early as we could.  Our hope was to spend the morning inside, so that we could stay cooler in the afternoon with the indoor exhibits.

We absolutely loved the zoo.  Audrey was so attentive and asked really good questions, and Kate loved seeing all the different animals.  With each animal we saw, she would say, "Okay, now what?"  It did get warm, and we did get tired, but it was a day that was totally worth the cost and exhaustion.  The girls are still bringing up different thoughts and memories about what we saw, so we're glad we went!

At the end of the day, each girl was able to pick out a stuffed animal in the gift shop.  Kate immediately gravitated toward a giraffe, and even after wavering back and forth, stuck with it.  Audrey knew she wanted a cat of some sort and ended up with a lion cub.  Right now both girls are sleeping with an extreme number of stuffed animals, so these two fit right into the collection!

Once again, on the drive back to the vacation house, we had two exhausted girls snoring in the backseat! :)
