Omaha ZOO

After we dropped my mom off at the airport in Omaha we decided to make the trip more fun and go to the Omaha zoo! I guess it is the second largest in the country next to San Diego. And it was pretty big with a lot of cool stuff! They had this huge Desert dome - you can see it from the freeway - as well as a huge Jungle house, Aquarium, butterfly house, cat complex, and more! It was awesome and we were all so exhausted when the day was over! Haley favorite thing was definately the Giraffes - from the moment we stepped into the zoo that is all she wanted to see - and they did not dissapoint, she loved it! My favorite was probably the gorillas - there was one that had a one year old baby and she just looked exhausted while the baby was crawling all over her (I could definately relate). Parkers favorite was probably either the monkeys or the fish. He kept saying "ish, ish". Also they were feeding the penguins and the kids got to be right up next to the glass to watch, and they both loved that! They also had a petting zoo which was fun. Haley found this little goat laying down that she became good friends with and after much coaxing Parker pet it as well. It was a wonderful day!
