The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

The lion stuck his tongue out at us.

This made him a lot less terrifying.

He was sleepy.

There were puffins at the Omaha Zoo around the corner from where we slept.

They splash a lot.

Which makes it very difficult to get good pictures.

They also groom a lot.

And sometimes they even snuggle.

There’s a baby orangutan at the Omaha Zoo.

He likes to swing.

He is very fast.

And very cute.

He hangs out with Mom a lot.

Sometimes he is quiet and thoughtful.

But most of the time he’s goofy.

He likes to check out the people watching him.

He has learned to beg, which is bad.

And he seems to know it is bad.

But he does it anyway.

The Omaha Zoo had baby sea lions.

One baby was 9 days old.

And the other one was 3 days old.

They were both very cute.

They mostly just want to eat.

They don’t explore very far from Mom.

Mom is the source of food after all.

Although sometimes it’s dangerous to stick too close to Mom.

Especially when she’s got an itch.

But you do have to take every opportunity you can get for a snack.

Even if Mom is flailing around wildly.

Just keep drinking.

And then give her kisses.

Because she loves you.

Enough to feed you.
