*OFF TO OMAHA*

The girls with their balloon animals. Maren's is a cat and Alexa's is a penguin.
The girls got to pick one thing on vacation. Alexa of course got an ugly doll and Maren got a roll along backpack that came with a stuffed frog.
The girls lying in bed - relaxing before we went to the Royal's game.
Maren and her big waffle cone. Believe it or not - she almost ate the whole thing!
The girls being the girls.
Right before we went into the zoo.
Maren riding on the skyfari. She rode with me and Alexa rode with her dad.
Alexa and her dad! They were a few back on the skyfari, so I was able to get a picture of them after we turned around to go back.
The girls in the garden at the zoo.
Each of them had to take a turn riding the snail.
Alexa's turn on the snail.
Once or twice a year we like to take a trip to Omaha to see the zoo and go to a Royal's (minor league) baseball game. The girls really enjoy staying in a hotel room and seeing a different zoo. This year we ended up going on Saturday morning, walking around downtown all day and then going to the Royal's game that night. Then on Sunday we woke up and ate brunch and headed to the zoo. They had the 'Skyfari' this year, which was new. The girls really loved that. We also got front row seats at the Royal's game, so their was a lot of action.
