Cate's Trip to the Omaha Zoo

About two weeks ago, Cate and I went with a group of our friends to the Omaha Zoo. She had a blast! Here are a few of my favorite photos of the trip:

1. Cate at the petting zoo. She wasn't too sure about petting the goat, despite Aliya and Elijah's insistence that he was quite soft.

 2. Cate sitting in the Hippo statue. She is looking angry here, but actually she was "talking" to her friends. 

 3. Cate pressed up against the glass in the monkey exhibit. I think she liked how the swung from tree to tree.

 4. Cate at the giant aquarium. This was her FAVORITE part of the zoo. We are thinking we might do an "under the sea" cake for her first birthday since she wanted to stay in there forever. 

 5. Here is most of our intrepid group near the end of the day. From Front, Cate, Aliya, Gloria with baby Tovah (not pictured, but in the stroller), Essie and Colleen. I think Elijah and Jordan were already off ahead of us.

 6. A Very Sleepy Girl. The Zoo was so much fun we'll have to go again soon!
