Omaha

This past week/weekend we made our last big family vacation of the summer.  We took a trip to Omaha, Nebraska to visit Christy and Mitch.  We went there in December to do our Christmas shopping, but we were in the middle of a snow storm the whole time so we didn't get to see much of the city.  This trip we were able to get out, enjoy the nice weather and see the sites!  I was so glad we got to go to the Omaha Zoo.  I was amazed at how big it was and all the different animals we got to see.  Lukas loved watching the animals, but wasn't too sure about getting up close to the glass.  He didn't understand that they couldn't get out.  I would have to say that our favorite was the gorillas.  They would come right up to the glass and the little ones were swinging on the branches.  Lukas liked to watch all of the movement.  He did great through the trip and got some good bonding time with his aunt!

 The cutest "Corn Husker" I have ever seen!

Enjoying the children's area at the mall.

Ready to go see the animals

Not real sure about petting the goats

Lukas referred to all of the animals as "babies".  Not sure where that came from :)

 Playing tag on the couch....Lukas loved it!

We did a "pre b-day celebration" for Lukas since Christy and Mitch won't be able to make it back mid week.  Lukas was not real sure of the cupcake at first, but it didn't take him long to figure it out.

 Thank you guys for the GREAT trip and hospitality!
