Christmas at Noccalula Falls!

We enjoyed a fun evening last night at Noccalula Falls in Gadsden,AL.

They have over a million Christmas lights every year. They were 

very beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves!

The Falls were gorgeous after all of this heavy rain we have had lately.

When it gets dark the park shines colored lights on the falls. Very beautiful!

Mama And I having fun on the Train ride
through the Christmas lights!

Enjoying the beautiful Christmas lights!

That is my kind of Christmas!:)

Winter Wonderland:)

More beautiful lights!

Lights!!

This was so beautiful walking through it!

Attention! Nutcracker lane:)

Christmas lights.... Waterfalls:)

Christmas at the Falls was worth it!!

Next holiday season I encourage you to go to this beautiful display of lights! It was only $5.00 a person to see over a million lights and enjoy a 
fun train ride! Thank you Noccalula Falls Park for everything you do!

Mountain Vacation Pictures!

Hello Again... I am finally getting time to blog the rest of our 

T.O.W(trip out west) pictures!

These are mostly pictures of Mt. Nebo and Mt. Petit Jean.

Mount Petit Jean is Arkansas's first state park.

One really good thing about Arkansas is all of their State parks are 

free admission, so you can enjoy the outdoors without the cost.

I hope you enjoy these pictures. It was a beautiful day when we were

there... The wind was really blowing!

Mt. Nebo State Park sign...

It is beautiful though!

I hope you have enjoyed this Blog Post! We really enjoyed the day we spent there

for providing free admission to all of the Parks!:)

Henry Doorly Zoo Omaha, NE

Here are the pictures of our Henry Doorly Zoo visit

in Omaha, Nebraska..

It is rated the #1 zoo in the nation by Trip Advisor!

We definitely rate it #1:) I hope you enjoy these

pictures and if you are ever up that way

it is worth the time!

The Zebra:)
They had lots of them and I finally got a picture
 of this one eating breakfast!

The Giraffe! I love Giraffe's...
They are such neat creatures with their
 long legs and necks.

Have you ever wanted to sit on a Rhino?
I just wish it was a real one!

He is so Cute!
This Sea Lion just wanted his picture taken:)

The Black Bear... I wish I could sleep this sound!

Me and The Gorilla's:) I always wanted to have a pet Monkey!

Look at that face!!

Aren't they just Beautiful!
The Lioness in the back is the
Mother to the Cubs in the picture below.

The Cubs! There were 5 of them.. This is a rare thing
for a Lioness to have 5 cubs. The other Lioness is the Aunt to the cubs.
She was also a surrogate to the Cubs:)

Mr.Big! that is actually his real name..
He is the father to all the Cubs. It is also a rare
thing for a Zoo to have a black maned male.
Isn't he pretty!

Me and Daddy in the Desert Dome.

Attempting to cross the rope bridge..
There are live Bats flying around in there,
so I was kind of scared.

I always wanted to hang like a monkey!
I guess this is as close as I can get!:)

More Lion Pictures!
This is one of the two male cubs, He was relaxing
in the shade of this tree. So cute!

Mama Lion looking at her Trainer walk away..
She isn't even paying attention that I'm there!

This is a Sculpture of the Omaha Zoo Lion Pride.
I wish I could really hug Mr. Big like that!
I love Lion's and I'm so glad that there are
places you can go and observe them!
Thank you Omaha Zoo!:)

I hope you enjoyed these Photos.. I enjoyed taking them!
May God Bless you & Happy Thanksgiving!
