Henry Doorley Zoo

Mike and I are on shutdown right now, so it's been nice to have some extra time to do things! Friday I watched Abby's girls for a while and later Mike, Tanner, and I ran to St. Joe for some fireworks and supper. Saturday we went to my Mom and Dad's for the day to all hang out and shoot fireworks! Then Sunday we slept in and just hung out around the house. Monday we went to the Zoo (see below) and today we are just doing some errands. We don't have a lot planned, but I do know I want to clean out a couple closets, Tanner and I are going to KC on Friday for lunch with friends, and Saturday is my twin nieces birthday party, so I'll stay busy enough!

Monday, Mike, Tanner, and I went to the Henry Doorley Zoo in Omaha. We had a pretty good time, but Tanner eventually got tired, so we went home before we got to see it all. Here are some pics from our day!

I tried to get a picture, but all Tanner wanted to do was get down and walk!

Look Mama!

This is a little monkey that I guess just gets to run around all the time, and he has a little sidekick too! We saw them a couple times and they're pretty cute! But the second time we saw them, Tanner had been eating some grapes, and still had one in his tray on his stroller. This little monkey came over and jumped on the sign and was looking at Tanner and we couldn't really figure out why, when all of a sudden he jumped onto Tanner's stroller, and stole his grape! He was only on there for a second or two, but it was enough to scare Mike and I for a second! Then his little buddy came over and started staring at us, so I got out another grape, and threw it away from us, and he ran and got it, and ate it. Then the first one came back again, so we moved on before he could jump us again!
