Lincoln Zoo & New Friends!

Yesterday, we went to the zoo in Lincoln, NE., and let me just tell you....it was FREEZING!  Seriously, we have never gone through a zoo so fast!  Start to finish, an hour, maybe a little more! HA!  Thank goodness it was free with our membership, or I would have been bummed. :)

Here are some of our favorites from our quick trot through:




 This ape kept jumping ONTO the glass and scaring us!  It's funny now.  :)
Inside this building, they had a collection of insects and some of them were OUT of their safe little boxes!  UG!  I was covered with chills the WHOLE time.  It was just yuck...  But the kids liked it a lot!  :)

Hannah is literally holding a HUGE HISSING COCK ROACH!  How she does this, I just don't know!
Emily is holding a silk WORM!  It is so fat and gooey looking!  UG!  BLAH!


Later, that evening we met up with our new friends, The Hecht Family.  The boys had a fun time with their sons, and we went to Backyard Burgers for dinner.  The Hechts are the pastor and his wife and 5 children, with one on the way, from Heartland Bible Church.  It seemed as though our families had known each other for years and just had such a great time.  I am SO thankful that the Lord is providing sweet Christian fellowship as we are traveling across the states.  It is a merciful answer to prayer.  :)


Parker and Jacob are really playing, though it kind of looks like they're not!  Too cute. 
Blessings,
Steph
