Tigers, Monkeys, and Bathrooms....oh my!

Omaha Zoo!  In March (yes March! The weather we had was amazing!) we took the boys to the Omaha zoo and they had a blast. :)  I will now be sharing approx. 50ish pictures with you, (I may have taken 157).  I get a little crazy, what can I say.  You know these are older pictures b/c Drew's hair is long...yes I may have cut off a few of his curls. (sob) He looks 5.  Look for a post with shorter hair later.....



Notice BOTH boys participating.




I don't remember what animal this is? Apparently he is TRYING to be a zebra.




Oh the Draw Bridge.  At first Drew did NOT want to cross, but the great mom that I am, I made him cross it and he did GREAT! He didn't even cry.  SO PROUD. :)  He even asked to cross again later.

  

   

  

I took this pic as we were zooming past it.....yes zooming....
Drew all of a sudden said he had to go poop. More on this later.  Keep reading :)


I MAY be a little biased, but I DO believe these 2 of the cutest boys ever.
So far they are giving the zoo 2 THUMBS UP!

We got through the jungle (and a potty break) and they decided it was time for a snack.

  

See we were there too :)


After ONE MORE (or was it two?) potty breaks running to the bathroom with Drew they really wanted to play in the fountain outside the aquarium.  The aquarium wasn't open yet, it opened the NEXT weekend.  oh well, means we will have to go back!!

  

They LOVED getting all wet, and it was SO nice out that day, that they dried off REALLY fast.

  

Parker MAY or MAY NOT be dipping his fingers and 'licking' the water.

  

The boys were SUPER excited to see the Cheetah. "because they run super fast"  

They were pretty disappointed when they saw the Cheetah and he wasn't running. :)

  

This monkey was laying on top of the glass dome.  Pretty sure he smiled for me.

  

  

Grooming each other

little map reader 

We took them to the IMAX theater, Sharks in 3D.

I wish I could have taken video during the show b/c they kept trying to grab the fish. 

Brian took this pic, (while Drew and I made another bathroom run).  Next time I'll put it on automatic for him (or teach him to adjust the settings) b/c this picture was SUPER dark, but I saved it b/c it was such a cute pic of PARKER. He did an AWESOME job.

This is where Drew and I were for a lot of the zoo. Poor kid.  I AM thankful he is potty trained, but he only gets a little out at a time.  We are working on it. :)  He will love this pic in his senior slide show. :)

At the end of the day we hadn't even made it to the other side of the zoo yet, so we decided to take the sky lift round trip.  They loved it. 

Drew was even all for it and he LOVED every second of it.  

  

We had a successful day.  2 boys asleep.

We WILL be going back, who wants to come with us?!?
