Monday we woke and went to the Omaha Zoo. We arrived there at about 9:45am. Lily had so much fun and did SOOOOOOOOO well on no nap all day long. We saw lions, tigers, and bears...oh my! (I had to) as well as elephants, giraffes, monkeys, gorillas, all kinds of birds, butterflies, etc. She really enjoyed the lions and the fish at the aquarium. I am so proud of her and how well she did. She finally conked out at 5pm when we were getting ready to leave the zoo. We bought her a stuffed lion that she immediately became attached to and is now one of the animals she sleeps with.
Tuesday we spent the day walking around downtown Omaha. We walked across this neat pedestrian bridge over the missouri river. We then ate lunch at the spaghetti factory. After lunch we went and got ice cream at this hole in the wall homemade ice cream shop called Ted & Wally's it was pretty good. I got White Chocolate Cappuccino Ice Cream and Ryan got Root beer ice cream. His tasted like a root beer float. Both were excellent. Lily enjoyed them as well. Tuesday evening we went to an Omaha Royals game but Lily was tired so we had to leave early in the 6th inning. It was about 8:30pm anyways.
Wednesday Morning we woke up and ate breakfast then headed home. Lily slept a little on the way home then just sat there like a perfect little angel the whole way home. We got home and she napped for over 2 hours! Much needed after the last couple days she had.
Today we left for the airport before 10am and flew to Denver for Bekah's wedding. This was Lily's first plane ride and she really enjoyed it. She liked the take-off but as soon as we were in the air she fell asleep and slept until we landed. So she was awake for the exciting parts of the flight. We got to the hotel after waiting FOREVER to get our rental car and we put her down for a much needed nap which she decided playing in her bed was more important and finally fell asleep after an hour or so. Then we had to wake her up cause we had to be at dinner at 6:30pm. Course this is all an hour "earlier" with the time change so dinner was starting at what would be Lily's bedtime. She did pretty good during dinner. She had a blast running around the room at the restaurant. She got some kind of second wind and got all this energy all of a sudden right before we left. She never ceases to amaze me.
Tomorrow is the big day (or today since its past midnight back home). We get our hair done at 11:30am then I go with Bek to help with pictures at 3:30pm then the wedding is at 6pm. Ryan and his parents are taking Lily to the Denver Zoo during this time. Which is great for her and for me so I can spend this time with Bekah helping her do whatever she needs me to do to make her day less stressful! So be praying that everything goes well and that Bekah isn't stressed out.
