We are spending our summer holiday back in Iowa this year, but for a family day out while back in Western Iowa with Kevin's mom and dad we snuck over to Omaha to the Henry Doorly Zoo. I visited the zoo almost 14 years ago (after I graduated highschool) when my family when on our very first "family vacation" which was a tour of southern and western Iowa. Now I was getting to take my kids (funny thing was that even though Kevin lived less than an hour away from this place his whole life...the only time he had been was when he was in kindergarten - we won't talk about how many years ago that was).
We had loads of fun riding the air lift ride across the park.
Fun in the rain forests, the desert, and savannah all in one day.
Love those ostriches, hippos, giraffes, koi fish, monkeys and more!!!
They've got the whole world in their hands...this huge marble globe moves around on a layer of water.
We spent over 6 hours at the zoo and didn't even see it all. We had so much fun and it was great to get out on an adventure again. We haven't done anything like this since we spent our last day in London and it was very nice to be together and forget about the chaos our world was in.
