Trip to the Omaha Zoo

Here's the first animal we saw at the zoo. An Austrian pygmy heifer, only 4 inches tall.

OK, so this isn't a picture from the zoo.

Rebecca and Rie were out taking pictures and took this one at Paul's place.

Charity and Rie in the haymow at Grandpa and Grandma Sandbulte.

I think they were looking to find some brome to take to the zoo to feed the pygmy heifers.

More preparation for the zoo trip.

You never know when some wild animal will escape and charge you.

It's true. Goats will eat anything, rocks included.

"The Jungle"

Jim S. and the kids met us at the zoo.

That's Gracie between Rie and Charity.

Levi is next to James.

My cap made the picture, too.

The butterfly house was new.
The fact that it was air conditioned was a big plus, too.

Another "jungle" picture -- the lower level this time.

Charity, me, Jim, and the twins.

We had just seen some huge fish, and Gracie is entranced with tiny guppies.

Michah is checking me out instead of the animals, .
Go figure.

Kings of the hill - Michael and Levi.

Cool hat Michael.

Here's the kids and me resting after a hard day at the zoo.
