At the end of May I chaperoned a group of kids from Payton's class to the Henry Doorly Zoo. This is the best zoo I have ever been to and with all of the traveling we do, that's really saying something. We were there for something like five hours, so I was quite wore out by the time I made it back home. Here are just a few photos...
What a fun bunch! 
Here are the girls of the group...
This was from the "desert dome." 
Here is the group I had for the day. They were all pretty good and I think they had a really good time. 
This tiger was a real ham. He would wave at people and smile for pictures. This was his mean face. 
The gorillas all looked incredibly sad. 
This kid was a riot, he wore these pink shades all day.
Here is our touring group at the end of the day. I was SOOO tired. The zoo was really great, I look forward to taking the family sometime soon.
Love the tiger. That's crazy. It seems like most zoos I've been to, the animals are all hiding or too far away to see. This sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteWell, Hilary, if your family ever makes it up this way, this zoo is a must see in my honest opinion. Better than DC, Norfolk, OKC, San Antonio, Denver, and even the Bronx Zoo. I'm sure over my *almost* 33 years I've been to a few more, but none that rival Omaha.
ReplyDeleteThere is even a ski lift thing that travels over a lot of the exhibits. The place was awesome!
Glad you all had a nice time. These are times you both will never forget :)
