To celebrate Emmie's b-day we went up to the Omaha Zoo. For those who haven't caught our previous posts about the Omaha Zoo, it is amazing - definitely the best zoo either of us has been to. This is Emmie's 2nd trip, but she was only 6 weeks old for the first one. She LOVES animals, loves monkeys and loves going to the Lincoln Children's Zoo, so it was no surprise that she went nuts over all the animals. Our friends Brad and Emily came with and it was great fun. Here are some pictures:
Monkeys are Emmie's favorite
She freaked out when the Gorillas came and pounded on the glass. I thought it was awesome.
The zoo has a new Madagascar section with this enclosed walkway where a bunch of Lemurs are just running around your feet. It was SO cool.
This is Emmie's reaction, trying to get away from a lemur walking at our feet. Not a fan.
A rare smile from the usually busy and blurry Emmie.
Oohs and Aahs at the fishies in the underwater tunnel.
There was a column tank full of fish swimming in a circle, and Emmie and Mya just ran circles around it. Here is when we told Emmie to give the fishies a kiss. If there is a fish hell, this has got to be it. Swimming around in a circle all day. I can hear their fishy cries, "What is going on! No matter how much I swim, I feel like I don't get anywhere!"
We thought Emmie would love these tamarinds since they have the same hair color. She does love monkeys, but not up close. Brenden on the other hand . . . tried to coax them onto his head.
Evidence of a good day - zonked out in her car seat with Bunny.
