Visit to the zoo

This was a fun weekend. Saturday we went to the Omaha Zoo and Sunday we went to Clear Lake for a bike race.



We were not sure about our decision to go to the zoo when the closer we got to Omaha, the darker the clouds were. It was raining when we got there, but just a little. The clouds remained for a while, but the rain didn't, so we ended up with a beautiful day. It was a lot of fun. We hadn't been in a long time. We went to the Blank Park Zoo, but it is not anywhere near as nice. One of our highlights was the gorilla house. There was a crowd lined up along the glass inside and one of the gorillas was in an especially bad mood. She kept running at the glass and throwing herself into it! Poor thing! It was rather thrilling to see, though. They are such powerful creatures, I'd hate to be inside with one!



Bode and Brianna rode the carousel. Both of them thought it was fun. Brianna seems to enjoy watching Bode have fun.

We ended the day in the old market area. We had dinner at Spaghetti Works. We enjoyed a balloon artist while we waited. Bode got an Elmo and Brianna got a penguin. Overall a wonderful day.
