This has been a busy, busy day. My husband took the day off, so we could spend the day at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo with our 10 year old grandson Lucas, who is visiting us from Houston. Using the map, we plotted out the route we would follow in order to take in everything we wanted to see. It was a lot of walking, and this old body hasn't gotten that kind of workout in a long time; but the cool, cloudy day was ideal for taking in all the outdoor exhibits.
We arrived at the Sea Lion pool just minutes before trainers came to demonstrate all these marvelous animals can do. We delighted in seeing them wave hello, jump through hoops, "walk" the edge of the pool, "talk", and gobble down their fishy rewards. Lucas declared it his favorite thing at the zoo (but he also really liked the walk-through aquarium).
Tonight "Cheaper Than Therapy" hostess club meets here at the house, our last meeting for the current catalog. Three of our members will not be able to attend; so Lucas and his grandpa have volunteered to make their cards for them. It is going to be the perfect end to a perfect day.
Until the next time, keep on smiling.
Trish
