We got up earlier today-heading to Omaha to go to the Zoo. We had 11 of us ready to go by about 8:45. (Anessa took the day off of work to join us-thanks Ocessa!) We had a girl’s car & a boy’s car. Omaha is about 2 hours away to the north. (Diller is in the South East of Nebraska.) The zoo was very pretty & big. We didn’t quite make it to all the exhibits before closing time. I think my favorite exhibit were the penguins! It was feeding time & they were swimming back & forth-so it was quite the show! We even got Maddie a little stuffed penguin.
We stopped in Lincoln at Valentino’s for dinner. It is a buffet-type restaurant. So many good choices to choose from. Of course we all came out too stuffed! They even had clowns going around making balloon animals for the kids. The older girls got their princess crowns, the boys got a sword, bow & arrow & an octopus/space alien & Ellie got a puppy & Maddie got a love bug. She wasn’t too thrilled about it at first, but Mark played with it on his hand & she warmed up to it.
Then we were on the road again, heading back to Beatrice to Walmart. Maddie & Ellie kept us laughing with their singing of Elmo’s Song. Maddie would sing it almost at the top of her lungs. We were laughing so hard. (yes, I cried I was laughing so hard) Note to myself-maybe not a wise idea to let Maddie have cotton candy & m&ms for dessert! She was wired! We made a brief stop at Walmart & met a few friends of Mark & Rachelle & then headed for home. Got the girls bathed & attempted to get Maddie to bed. It took quite awhile-she was still on her sugar high!
