The kids and I headed to the Lincoln Zoo the other day w/our summer fun pass coupons. I will just have to say upfront that if any one is thinking of going think of it more as a large park with a few animals and you will not be disappointed. So despite the absence of elephant, giraffes, zebras, lions...and any other large zoo animal (other than the camel who Eli was concerned was about to loose his humps :)) the kids had a good time. The have a little place to touch a variety of animals and the butterfly house is kind of neat. As you go in a lady sprays your finger w/red sticky and apparently sweet stuff to help attract the butterflies to you. Kiley thought that is was better served to curb her appetite and though Eli tried his hardest he was not able to attract a butterfly to stay on his finger - that is until his sister grabbed on by the wings to give him - oops?! Here are a few pictures.

The kids enjoyed getting into the bald eagle's nest after I reassured Eli that the bird did not use it anymore.
