Summering, cont.

We went to the Lincoln Children's Zoo while in Nebraska, and I must say, I like it. Mostly because it's not so huge that you can't possibly get through in a day and also because you aren't completely worn out when you're done. One dumb thing is that you can't bring in outside food or drink. So much for having a picnic in the zoo. We ate on a park bench 20 feet from the entrance and watched the zoo train go round and round. Annabelle was with Aunt Kristie taking a nap which made the whole experience a little easier.

The poor reindeer really smelled bad. It was 90 degrees and humid, you can imagine the smell.

We loved the butterfly pavilion. Next we'll know to put flowers in the girls' hair. They kept landing on a little girl with a giant orange flower bow.

Waiting for the train. The most expensive train ride...ev..ver.

The train's about to go...

I can't wait...

Yep, the train is awesome.

My new favorite picture of all time. Have I mentioned that I love my new camera?

Madalyn was in tears because the butterflies wouldn't land on her and then one finally did and she totally freaked out.
