SO FAR

Monday, July 15: We went to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. I didn't get very many pictures because Charles was more interested in his surroundings this year. He loved the animals and would try to pronounce their names and then say hello to them. We would go up to a new station and tell him what the animal was. He would say for instance hello bear. His favorite part was the aquarium.

Tuesday, July 16: We went to a friend's house and swam at their pool for about an hour. It was a lot of fun and Charles had a blast. I didn't get any pictures because I was in the pool with him.
Wednesday, July 17: Today we went to the library and checked out some new books for Charles. He is a little bookworm. His favorites are books about trucks and trains. When we got home two trucks were on our road cutting down tree limbs for the power company. Charles had to go check out the trucks. They were really nice and asked if we would like to watch them cut down some limbs. Charles was in heaven. When they went up in the basket he said, " up up truck, oh wow, oh no." Tonight we might go to the park and let Charles play if it cools off enough.
Tomorrow we go to story hour, and who knows what we will do this weekend.

Omaha Zoo Trip

On May 29th we had a family day trip to Omaha Zoo.



 Lathering Charles up with sunscreen.

 I'm not sure what these two animals are but they were in the desert dome.

 Charles enjoying the zoo.

 Sleeping tiger

 The dark nocturnal and swamp area put Charles to sleep. He took about about a 45 minute or so nap.

 Lion

 The polar bear tried to trick us and make us think he was going to go for a swim.

 Patrick, Charles, and I.

 The gorilla was just hanging out at the window.

 Another picture of us.

 Some type of parrot.

 Charles reclining

 A very pretty butterfly.

 One of my favorite animals. I love to watch them swim and jump out of the water.

 I love giraffes. They are so pretty.

 A fun way to document his first Zoo trip.

My Parent's Visit to our Home

I'd like to share my Snapfish photos with you. Once you have checked out my photos you can order prints and upload your own photos to share.

This was the easiest way to share our time together. Especially since I downloaded pictures from my camera and my parent's camera on Snapfish. I hope you enjoy. I also promise that if you come out you don't have to work around the house or yard.
