Omaha Zoo

So this last weekend we took a quick trip up to Omaha! It was a short little trip, but a fun one! Scott, Jory's Dad lives up there now, and so earlier last week I told Jory I would like to go to the zoo and lets go to the Omaha Zoo that way we could see your dad too! (not that he is IN the zoo, but IN Omaha)!! I was not expecting Scott to be able to go to the zoo with us, but he was able to! The kids really enjoyed seeing him.

So I have never been to the Omaha Zoo before, but I have heard that is one of the best zoo's in the country. #3 to be exact. I liked it, but I did not like how it was laid out. It had a lot of dead ends and there were no signs directing you where to go. I did however like the exhibits of all the animals! They had a beautiful butterfly dome, and an AWESOME aquarium! C liked that the best! The Aquarium had a walk through tunnel that the sharks and fish could swim over-top of you. It was my favorite as well! I LOVE the sea and all the creatures in it! They also had one of the biggest Cat complexes that I have ever seen. They had a TON of cats! They also had one of the most beautiful male Lions that I have ever seen. He had the most beautiful manes ever! All in all the zoo was great!

Another cool thing that we did at the zoo was the "Teddy Bear Experience". What it was, was a"teddy bear" hospital for your child's stuffy! I am SOOO glad that we had Moo Moo with us!

Christian was able to get Moo Moo a flu shot and some X-rays. He got his heart checked out and got some new stuffing and stitching. It was SO cool! They gave Moo Moo a hospital band and C got a matching one so he could pick him up after his surgery! It was the cutest things that I have ever seen! All the workers were dressed up like medical workers! It was cool!

Lily slept most of the time we were at the zoo. We forgot our storller so we rented a wagon to carry Lily and the diaper bag. We put Scott's jacket and her blanket under her. She kicked back and realxed while we pulled her! She feel asleep shortly after we got there! She was still so cute! When she was awake she did not really care about the animals!

The Weather was GREAT!!! We had lots of sunshine and low 60's. PERFECT!!!! All in all we had a great day/weekend! Here are a few pictures of Moo Moo getting checked out and of the train ride!
