We took one final Chalupa summer trip to the "Homaha Zoo" (Carter's beloved but misunderstood name!). We left after Andy got in some morning golf, and arrived for a pillow fight, authentic Mexican dinner and pool'ing.
Sunday, we (along with everyone else in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area) headed to the zoo. We enjoyed a carousel ride (I watched), train ride, and all the animals. We called it quits kinda early: it was packed, we were hungry and exhausted.
El Rancho, the Mexican restaurant we ate at, was the real deal! So far, no gut rot ...
One super-spazzy Carter, jumping and being a total Cheeser at the restaurant
Swimming and giggling at the pool
Sunday morning was a lazy, sleeping in, cartoon-watching kind of morning. Perfect!
Carter peeking out of the stroller at the zoo
We were about five feet away from the King of the Jungle. Very cool!
A Carter/Daddy tradition: the "Homaha" carousel
Choo! Choo!
Carter thought it was pretty funny that the muskrats were "jumping over each other's butts" at the glass! Kid humor ... gotta love it!
Like her Daddy, and other nerds of their kind, she was really interested in the skeletons of the monkeys, gorillas and apes. She compared the human skeleton to the monkey ones, pointing out the leg and arm bones, the backbones and the skulls. She was really creative, right on, and totally interested! We may have a future doctor on our hands!
JELLY FISH at HOMAHA ZOO! They really are amazing!!!
One final trip, and one final picture, to mark the official end of summer.
So ... when's that Wasserbaun pool overnight happening ;)
