Look out world! Eden is TWO!

Eden had her second birthday on Tuesday and we decided to take her to the zoo for the day. We had heard Omaha has a really really good zoo and we wanted to check it out. It was a lot of fun and we ended up spending more time there than we were expecting to. We were all pretty worn out by the time we got to the car to head home but it was worth the trip. Eden loved all the animals and had a lot of fun. Here are some of the neat things we saw at the zoo.

If you are interested, you can go to the Omaha Zoo website and find a webcam to watch these penguins play. They were a lot of fun.

The zoo has a lot of different gorillas to look at. Eden liked the "gorilla-la's" a lot but they were moving a lot and I had a hard time getting a picture of one. WE were sitting on a bench resting by an outdoor cage with a gorilla and when we weren't looking, he came right up behind us and startled us. I didn't get a good picture before he left, but you can see how big he is. It was pretty cool. I think he liked Eden. That's the gorilla on the left. :)

We took Eden to Wheeler Farm in June with the Craven Clan (minus Kevin, Scotty and Ben) and she really had fun. She loved feeding the ducks and looking at all the animals. We went on a ride in a trailer being pulled by a tractor (I think they called it a hay ride, but I didn't see any hay). Eden wore her pig tails special that day but we didn't see any pigs (they were all sleeping in their house). Luckily, all the other animals were being quite social. Eden liked the treehouse and we had a hard time getting her out of it. It was a fun afternoon for her.
