A day at the zoo


the kids and I in the Desert Dome


Check out the shark right behind them in the aquarium


Ben did not really want to share his snack with this peacock, but she really liked us!

the new Madagascar Lemur exhibit was so amazing. here are a few of the furry friends!

We love this water "globe" outside of the Desert Dome
We survived one of the hottest days at the Omaha Zoo a few weeks ago, but we had the best time! I am a huge fan of the zoo and have tons of fond memories of going there as a child with my parents (whom both also love the zoo!) So, to get to spend those moments there with Doug and the kiddo's were fun for me. Ben said that his favorite parts were the polar bear eating the watermelon for a snack (that was quite amazing to see, red cheeks and all (-:!!! ), and the monkey house. Kate loved the lemurs, and the desert dome. Doug tolerated all of us, the heat, and the zoo (thanks for hanging with us all day dearie!) and I just loved it all~so many new things (the butterfly house, the lemur exhibit, the skyfari ride ~ thanks Henrly Doorly Zoo for such a great day...we will be back soon!!!!
