The dasterdly Von Feldt parents removed their children from school two Fridays ago and took them to the zoo instead!
I had requested a temple trip for my birthday present, and we made it a family event by hitting the Omaha zoo before a lovely temple session at the Winter Quarters temple. We were going to keep the destination a mystery for the kids, but Brother Von Feldt forgot that detail and blabbed to Sophia. However, Meredith was in the dark about where we were going until she noticed "Nebraska" license plates at the gas station, then saw the Henry Doorly Zoo sign as we drove up. She was thrilled! So was Sophia, and anyway she does best when surprises aren't too surprising.
It was just an idyllic trip. Doug and I enjoyed lots of talking time on the 3 1/2 drive up and back. The weather--oh my goodness--was gorgeous. It was neat to be at the zoo in the fall, yet not too cold.

This looks like the perfect family trip! I love that you kept the destination a secret--that makes it very fun. We never did make it to that zoo and I'm disappointed because I've heard it's a great one.
Aahh. Two of our favorite places in the midwest. Glad that you could have an enjoyable birthday. Great pictures! Happy birthday, btw!
