Road Trip Day 4...

One of the things we love to do when we are in Omaha is go to the zoo. It is especially fun because Trent used to work there. We were so excited to take Hudson. We waited to go on our last full day to avoid the Labor Day/weekend crowd. A cool front blew in that day, the temperature started around 72 and by the time we left it was in the 50s and raining. We were able to see almost everything before the rain and the zoo was not crowded at all.

Shortly after the picture above Hudson woke up and did not care for the rain that was hitting him. We made a quick switch to the Bjorn and headed into the new butterfly exhibit. This was Hudson't favorite thing! The blue butterflies in the picture below made him so excited!!! I wish we had pictures that captured the extent of his excitement...his little legs and arms would pump up and down like crazy whenever the butterflies were near. It was so fun we went through it twice!

It was such a fun day! After we left the zoo we were freezing and headed to Starbucks. I knew that the pumpkin spiced lattes come out around this time of year and I was hoping we could get one. The barista in the drive through told us that they didn't come out until the next day (he actually burst into song and sang Tomorrow from Annie to us). We were disappointed and told him we didn't want anything, but had to wait in the line since we were in the drive through. We got up to the window and rolled it down to say thank you and we were about to keep driving and they told us to wait. The girl working there told us she had a surprise for us and the singing barista came up with two pumpkin spiced lattes! And he gave them to us for free! It was so nice and such a fun way to end our day. :)
