Lions and Tigers and Tears- Iowa Part V




The weekend before we flew back to California, the whole family migrated to Omaha Nebraska.  Dave and Brandon found a bike race they could do there and we thought it would be fun to take all of the kids to the zoo.  It is a great zoo and we did have a great time.  We saw all the star animals, the lions, the tigers, the bears.  We also saw Gorillas, all sorts of monkeys and deer and birds.  As the day progressed, we had yet to see the elephants.  We decided that this would be our last stop before leaving, well our last stop ended up being on the FAR side of the zoo. We had four children and one stroller; as you can imagine, they all wanted to ride in it after a long day of walking. By the time we finally reached the elephants, three of the four had cried at some point along the way and I'm pretty sure all of us, including the adults, felt like crying and  wanted to get in the stroller. So, we headed back to the hotel for some rest and some snacks before going to the Old Market for an action packed dinner.   It was a great way to end a great trip back to the midwest!
