Momma tiger with her baby in the background. I could have watched the baby all day. So cute!

Ended the day at Quaker Steak and Lube...what a hit for boys! Race cars hung down from the ceiling! This was in Iowa too, so we actually made it to 5 states on our vacation!

The boys in front of the gas tank! They loved the jellyfish that they got out of the machine but sadly they both lost them before the trip was over.

Since Landon and I made it up to Kansas we thought it would be fun to drive about 5 more hours North and meet up with Mary Ann and her kiddos in Omaha, Nebraska. The drive there was very nice...I loved seeing all the planted crops, old and new barns, a very old church, etc. A big change of scenery when your used to driving down 35 or through the King Ranch! We spent 3 nights together and hit the main childhood highlights! The Omaha Zoo is amazing and they have gone above and beyond to make it a wonderful zoo. Most all of the exhibits are over the top and you do not feel sorry for the animals like in some other zoos. They have done very well in putting them in their natural habitat. The swamp was one of my favorites...very dark, bug noises in the background, beavers and alligators out and about...very neat! The little ones had fun too~Landon is still talking about it!
