Billy Wardle Happenings

Traveling through to Elkart I was able to spend considerable time with Charity in Nebraska.  These trips of course included the zoo.  We also visited the Winter Quarter Visitor Center and the Kanesville Visitor Center.  It is always fun to spend time with the Halls.   Baby elephant

 We went to Omaha for Thanksgiving ho0ing to be qable to meet Charity's new baby.  Riley did not cooperate and was not born until the Monday after Thanksgiving.  We had to go home so Tony could go to school.  Sheri stayed to meet the baby. During the weekend we saw Wicked at the theater, went to a park down by the river; it was very cold, walked through Fontenelle Forest which was also cold but had a neat place for watching the birds, and to the zoo.  At the zoo we mostly went to indoor areas as it again was cold, aquarium, the jungle and gorilla house.  We also went ice skating.

 We held the family reunion in Omaha this year whee we stayed at Charity's home or an RBNB that Sheri had arranged.  The reunion was marred by COVID this year.  Sheri tested positive which prompted Caleb and Natalia to no join us.  I also felt sick the first couple days but my test came back negative.   cardinal Zoo day was high lighted by the aquarium, baby elephants and the water feature.  Charity lives close to Doorly Zoo in Omaha. bad picture of lion road runner bobcat Beach day was a lake in Iowa, Lake Manawa.  We drove all the way around it..
