Omaha Zoo

A couple weekends ago we took a little trip to the Omaha Zoo.  It is a very large zoo and we weren't able to see everything in a day but we did see all that we wanted to see. 

Here are the Rhinos.  I think it's so cool how well they blend in.

 Tyler's favorite part.  The sky ride. (Tyler is in red, Dan is in blue)

Tyler with the big gorilla behind him.  Right after this picture the gorilla got up and started walking towards Tyler which freaked him out.

Tyler acting like a monkey.

Proof that Nolan was with us.  He was pretty tired/quiet the whole day.

The sloth that was just chilling upside down.

Book Review - The Fiddler by Beverly Lewis

This book was kind of up and down for me. At times it was a page turner and other times it felt slow. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable story line. The characters were easy to like and even though you had an idea of how it was going to end I was curious as to how the author was going to get there. I've never read a book by Beverly Lewis and this one interested me enough to try out some of her other books.

 

Disclaimer: I was sent a free copy of this book by Bethany House Book Reviewers so that in return that I would give an unbiased review.

Summer Bucket List

Tyler and I decided that this summer we would make a bucket list.  Really it's a way to make sure we continue to do activities and don't fall into the tv/iPad trap.  I got the idea off of Pinterest...of course!  Tyler did help me with the activities but I subtly came up with some that I would like to do or I knew we already had planned.  Like stay at a hotel.  :)  Here is how it turned out (I had to make the picture extra large so you could read the activities):

I am hoping to remember to get a picture for each activity and then maybe we can make it into a Shutterfly photo book or something.  Here is our first activity, a picnic!  It was a beautiful day for it and Dan was able to join us!  It's so hard to get a picture of Nolan so we took advantage of him eating and sitting still.  :)

I also wanted to share this picture of Tyler "reading" a book to Nolan.  Tyler picked Nolan up, placed him on the couch, and then they went through the book together.  It was too cute so I had to take a picture.
