Zoo Trip with Grandma Nancy, Uncle Chris, & Melissa

On August 24th, Alden, Clair, & I went to the zoo with Grandma Nancy, Uncle Chris, & Melissa. We dropped Samantha off at school and met them all at the zoo!

We started off at the Lied Jungle! The animals were very active that morning!

This monkey kept talking us and Clair and Alden tried to figure out what he was saying!


Alden liked the waterfall in the Jungle.

Next up was the giraffes! Alden loves to sit on this giraffe statue. He was too cool to take his sunglasses all the way off on this trip!

Clair is almost big enough to hold onto the giraffe by herself, but I had to make sure she didn't fall.
We visited the Aquarium next and as always, the kids love the penguins.

Clair & Alden really enjoyed having Chris & Melissa with us. They showed them all their favorite things to do at the zoo. Alden wanted to show them the sharks!


We took a break for lunch and ate at the Omaha Steaks Grill. It was delicious and Doug was very jealous because he has always wanted to eat there!

Since Samantha wasn't with us (she doesn't like petting animals), we walked over to the petting zoo. Clair loved the goats! Clair & Melissa were inseparable. It was too cute!

On the way back to the entrance of the zoo, we walked through the gorillas. Clair wanted to get up close and personal with them, but no gorillas came over to the window to see her.

Getting taller! Alden wanted to make sure he is still growing...he want to ride some larger rides at Disney World when we take the kids in October 2012...he just wants to know his options! :)

After the gorillas, we parted ways with Chris & Melissa and took my mom back to her apartment. We had to pick up Samantha from school at 3:15 and din't want to chance being late!
