Butterflies

Saturday we had some errands to run in Omaha. Eric had a wrench to exchange at Sears and he needed some new tools from Harbor Freight. We also had to make a stop at Sams for some wipes. Since we were already in Omaha we decided we'd stop at the zoo and see the new butterfly and insect house. We thought we'd just go in take a look and leave, maybe an hour. Little did we know the new exhibit was soo soo busy you had to get a special time card thing telling when it was your turn to go through the exhibit when you walked into the zoo. So we had about 3 hours to kill when we got there. So we looked around, had a snowcone. It was a pretty nice day a little on the warm side but not so much you felt like you were melting. Christopher and Alissa made some friends while we had our snowcones. It was all very nice. The butterfly house is pretty cool. The kids loved it. We had to watch Christopher extra close to make sure he didn't try to grab one but he did fairly well. Then we went to the insect part and they had a window into the butterfly hatchery so you could see the cocoons and butterflies emerging. I really liked that part. They also had some cool sculptures outside of butterflies that I thought were just beautiful. It was a very nice day just a little longer than expected.
