In an effort to experience as much of the Midwest as we could in our last few months in Iowa, we took a trip to the Omaha Zoo. It's listed as one of the top 10 zoos in the US, so how could we miss the chance? And yes, I did plan for Jonah and Wyatt to wear their animal shirts at the zoo. I don't get to dress up girls in cute little frilly things so I do what I can.
If you have never been, the Omaha Zoo is a pretty amazing zoo. Our day started out with an orangutan begging for food, or maybe she wanted my child?
Another view station for the penguins--
The sea tunnel--sharks and turtles and lots more.
I didn't include any photos of the desert, but there is a huge dome enclosing a desert and then another huge indoor rainforest with different monkey-like animals coming right up to you from the trees, a large waterfall and rope bridge...
and our own monkeys.
Wyatt cracks me up! His cute little personality luckily shines through on so many photos.
There was also a very large farm area with goats and chickens and even a fake cow to milk. Jonah could have spent half the day feeding the over-fed goats.
And they even had a cebu or zebu or however you spell it. Since Veggie-Tales is a staple at our house, seeing a real zebu was quite exciting.
