We Survived Our Summer Vacation

We survived our first summer vacation, and it was a great one! The kids had a blast at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska is a great spot to go for a family vacation.  We stayed two days but had a lot of fun, and saw everything there was to see.  The kids had a blast and so did I.  We loved the jungle area and the dinosaur exhibit and can't forget the aquarium. We've done a lot of fun things summer.  The drive in movies, the lake, the zoo, visiting friends and family we haven't seen in a very long time.  Always take photos of special events! Don't be afraid to be IN your special photos as well, you don't always have to be the one behind the camera.  Get in there and have FUN!

My daughter has had a HUGE obsession with giraffes since she was little, and she was BEGGING us to bring home this LIFE SIZED wooden giraffe from the zoo.  Nice try kid!

Beginning zoo trip DAY 1

This cool little fountain had a globe on it that the kids could turn and move due to the water, they loved it.

The boys posing for a photo in the desert dome, they thought it was a blast.

The boys loved the learning center and had a great time playing with the whale sounds.

Kams found a smaller giraffe and wanted to bring it home too. 

My son Marshall loved the dino cut outs at the dino exhibit

My kids loved the rope bridge in the jungle exhibit.  It was fun walking across it next to a big water fall.

Last day at the zoo! (Thank you hubby for taking the photo)

On our way home from the zoo we stopped in to visit my best friend from high school that I haven't seen in awhile.  It was great to see her!
Family vacations bring so many wonderful memories!
