Our Favorite Zoo

Here are some way overdue pictures from our Omaha Zoo trip last fall. I am pretty sure we are going to make this an annual thing because we always have such a great time. If you have never been there, I highly recommend it. It is the most amazing zoo!

My mom came along with us and we found a great hotel at a really cheap rate on www.priceline.com. They had big glass jars of cucumber and fruit flavored waters in the lobby - fancy. We woke up early the next morning and had a delicious breakfast at Wheatfields Bakery. Here is a sticky bun sampler platter that I couldn't resist trying. Need I say more?

We got to the zoo not long after it opened, and were able to get through most of it before we had to leave for Ella's nap. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day.

ROAR! 

  

The Desert Dome

Kingdoms of the Night

The bat cave was so creepy, but so cool!

The Swamp

The Big Cats

Orangutan Forest

  

The Penguin Exhibit

  

The Aquarium

  

The Butterfly Pavilion

A very noisy train ride

We weren't really sure what this was ... a zebra-something combo. Strange.

The Jungle

It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful fall day!
