Quickie Trip to the Zoo

Aunt Betty got us a zoo pass for the year as our birthday/Christmas gifts for 2006. Easy for her and oh, what a gift to us!! We were anxiously awaiting a trip when I finally figured out that I was waiting around for nothing. With a pass, it's not wasted to just go for a couple hours here and there. It is an hour away, though, so it has to be a good trip, but we finally quit waiting for a full day. So last Tuesday, we got all our school done in record time and as soon as Daddy got home from work at 1pm, we took off. I really wanted to get there before school got out for the summer and it got really crowded. Also like to avoid Saturday and Sunday. So we got through several attractions before the park started closing. Morgan was pretty disappointed we didn't get to ride the train, but I later found out that it only runs on weekends right now. Still not sure I want to drive alone in Omaha, but maybe I'll make it just up to the zoo now. It is right off the interstate, but it's still Omaha. I can probably talk Mom into going with me, too. The kids may not let me wait too long!!
