Omaha Zoo

We've been taking advantage of this beautiful fall weather. This weekend we decided to take a day-trip to the Omaha zoo--and I'm so glad that we did! The day couldn't have gone any better. We left WDM a little after 9 and got to the zoo a little after 11. I packed a picnic lunch for us and plenty of snacks to keep Sage occupied if she started to get antsy. I was a bit worried that she wouldn't want to be pushed around in her stroller, since she gets to walk around the DSM zoo these days, but she did great. She got out a couple of times to go potty but then let us put her back in. She did walk around the aviary with Ross, and around the children's petting zoo.

The zoo is huge! There were a lot more indoor exhibits than I had expected. Perhaps my favorite were the gorillas and Ross would probably say that his was the walk-through underwater part with sharks and giant sea turtles swimming above. We just happened to be there during feeding time, so the sharks were quite active. Every time we walked out of a building, Sage would say, "More animals". She was really disappointed when we left to go back home over three hours later.
