Friday evening I drove my mom, niece Anna and Jentry to Granny Mary's new house in Tekamah. The girls were quite excited about a girls only slumber party. After a night of countless sleep interruptions, I felt as if we had accomplished a true sleepover as I was exhausted by 8:00 am. After breakfast, we loaded up and headed to the zoo.
We arrived there bright and early!
We started in the Wild Kingdom Pavilion were the girls got to ride in the old Jeep.
Next we headed through the Lied Jungle and the girls had a blast checking out the monkeys but Granny thought she could do without the humidity.
We stopped for a quick lunch at the TreeTops Restaurant and then headed to see the big kitties at the Cat Complex. Then it was time to meet up with Kelly and Isaac. Finally, all three kiddos were together again and we could continue on our journey.
Jentry's favorite thing in the entire zoo? The water globe of course!
We toured the Desert Dome, and Aquarium before boarding the train.
After the train ride around the entire park, we checked out Anna's favorite animal, the Zebra, before heading to the IMAX Theater for a showing of Penguins in 3D. The kids always have fun with the cool glasses and by the time the credits were rolling two adults and one child were sound asleep. I will be kind enough not to name any of the snoozers by name.
By the time we got to the cars and got everything and everybody in the right place, I was completely zoo zonked. The kids actually did very well and only had a few moments of ugly. The weather was beautiful and many memories were made by all.
