The Omaha Zoo!

When our older children were much younger, Joe's dad always gifted us with a family

pass to the zoo, so we naturally made many trips there.

The tradition continues, and we spent a nice long day there the Monday after Thanksgiving.

It was practically deserted with kids back in school and adults back at work.

It was the perfect time to go!!

We went to the IMAX first thing, while we waited for it to warm up a bit, and saw a show about

sea turtles.  Then we headed straight to the Tropical Rain Forest.

The real elephants were way out in the field and too hard to really see, so we had 

to make do with this one!

The lions were sacked out in the warm sunshine!

Isaac and Joshua had great fun in the African Safari with this helicopter and the safari jeep.

We ended the day with another IMAX show - Hero Dogs.  It was fantastic!!

We all got more than our 10,000 steps for the day!

We got treated to a beautiful sunset on the way back home!
