Corbin is quickly outgrowing everything, and it was time to upgrade him from an infant carseat to a convertible one, and since I had a 20% off coupon we decided to stop at Babies R Us on the way to the park to pick up a new carseat for him. After a quick stop for that and a couple other things for him, we headed to the park.
The Wildlife Safari Park is a drive through park divided into several sections for various animals. There is also a place to park where hiking trails take you into the woods to bear and wolf exhibits. We saw elk, pelicans, cranes, turtles, bison, deer, owls, a bear and several other varieties of wildlife. Although we hiked back to their enclosure, we weren't able to spot any wolves. The park was much bigger than we'd expected, and we enjoyed the beautiful spring afternoon watching the animals and hiking in the woods. We did, however, finish much earlier than I'd expected. Cost for 2 with our Zoo membership was $11 - Corbin's admission was free.
It was only a little after 3 and the Lodge Steakhouse didn't open for dinner until 5. We had realized there were a couple more things we needed to shop for - Mother's day cards and a sun shade for Corbin's window in the car - so we decided to head back into Omaha for an early dinner and the rest of our shopping. I had recently read that Jazz had added new menu items and I was craving fried okra, so we headed there, although the sweet potato fries were the only new menu item we ended up trying. John had scallops Lafayette and I had a shrimp poboy with sweet potato fries. We shared an order of the okra and Corbin had some cheesy grits that he shared with his dad. Total was $42 with tax and tip, but I had a $20 for $10 groupon so our cost was $32.
Current balance of the date night fund is $110.
Love that picture of Corbin!
