Ashley and Cody VIsit: The Zoo

No one should ever visit Omaha without visiting the Zoo. It is probably our city's best feature. When Ashley and Cody were here, it was "Mutual of Omaha Weekend." That meant a lot of activities were free including the zoo. We thought it would be awesome. The zoo is always interesting, but this was an adventure like not other. It was BUSY! We parked far away, walked over, stood in lines and spent a good hour trying to cram through the Aquarium while packed in like sardines with what I am sure must have been all 42000 people that were at the zoo that day. That's right 42000! Breaking the old one-day attendance record of almost 24000. Yeah-it was INSANE!! We still had a blast and managed to take a few photos to share.

I LOVE the baby monkeys!Cody, Wes, Solace, Kindle (behind A) & Armour in the jungle

In the aquarium (trying to exit at the very end-less busy there-the backup was at the shark tunnel. As an FYI, about 30 seconds after we exited the aquarium, someone pulled the fire alarm and they had to evacuate it. Glad we missed that.)
