Lions, Tigers, and Bears oh my!!!!

So we recently took a trip to the Omaha Zoo. We had been there once before, but Makenzie was only 3 and we didnt have any of the other girls at the time. So the whole family was able to experience it this time around. It actually was decided at the last minute that we were going. Brock and I had came to an agreement that if I had lost 8 lbs by last Friday that we would make the trip as his treat to me. Well, I hit my goal!! Unfortunately, the excitement from the weekend and eating out most of the time, didnt help my weight loss. Not even all the walking we did could compare to treating myself. So it's back to the drawing board on that one!! Getting back to the trip though. We found a place to stay at close to the zoo and fairly cheap. Although, they did end up overcharging us so we had to make a phone call Monday to get the charges reversed. The girls were able to go swimming(which I sometimes think they enjoyed more than the zoo), but I also put on a swimsuit and enjoyed swimming with them for the first time in awhile. Thankfully there was no else in the pool at the time so we had it all to ourselves which was nice. The best part about the zoo was the gorillas. We just happened to walk up to them as one gorilla in particular was playing games with the visitors. He would come up to the window and then all of a sudden he would start banging on the window right as you got your face up to the glass. It was alarming at first, but then we all laughed about it later. :) Brezlyn loved the giraffes and Briella the monkeys. Kenzie was really excited to look at the zebras. So as much as we enjoyed the 4 hr trip to see the animals, when we finally made it home I was so glad to be back at home with my 3 little monkeys!!
