Omaha Zoo!

Caleb and Landon must have been excited for the zoo because they both woke up before 6:00 am , but the adults didn't complain too much because they were so excited to go too!!!  Caleb fell asleep on the short ride to the zoo which gave him just enough of a rest to skip his morning nap. We arrived before 9:00 (the actual time the zoo opens), but they had already opened the gate so we got in right away! The boys had so much fun seeing all of the animals at the zoo. Cousin Landon was so cute because he knows so many of the animal noises, and he liked to "talk" to them :-) Here's how our trip went...

Can Matt stop the world from spinning?... not quite.

Our group on our way to the monkeys!

Checking out the monkeys!

Caleb checking out the orangutangs.

Oh the tiger...he was pacing back and forth, back and forth.

This lion and her cubs got up really close. I don't think the momma liked the strollers...she was pacing and even pawed at the window!

The lion getting up close and personal with cousin Landon and Uncle Adam.

Looking for monkeys!

The Johnson's at the zoo!

Caleb loved the gorilla, but cousin Landon wasn't so sure about him...

Too cute!

In the "bubble" checking out more gorillas.

Checking out the bears and ready for the next ones!

Checking out more bears...

Morgan and Landon checking on the polar bear.

Daddy and Caleb petting a goat! He kept trying to pull its tail!

The boys loved the birds that were walking around all over the place (even the ones that weren't actually from the zoo!)

The boys checking out the penguins. Ah the crowds, the only thing I could do without at the zoo.

Caleb measuring up to a King Penguin.

Caleb loved looking at all of the fish in the aquarium.

Mommy and Caleb checking out the sharks and other fish!

I think  he's saying..."Yeah, I'm at the zoo!!!"

Look closely and you will see the Johnson's looking at a map of the zoo... The Ramthun's took a ride in the Skyfari and followed us as we walked along the path to look at the rhinos!

Caleb was starting to lose interest...if you look you can see the giraffes in the background.

The Johnson's in the jungle!

Back in the car...he was getting very sleepy....

And 5 minutes later...the boys were out! And slept almost the whole way home! They were such troopers, and really seemed to enjoy their trip to the zoo. We can't wait to go back time and time again in the years to come!
