Zoo part 2



The monkeys were so funny! They kept holding there hands out for people to throw food out for them. This on actually took an animal cracker out of the water before the fish could get it. The koi were amazing! There were thousands of them.

Tucker and his elephant!

I loved this picture of the gorilla feet. It was in a tunnel that went over our walkway, it just looked like he was relaxing!
One of the trainers came out and was giving the big cats there meds in balls of meat. The cats loved it.
Love to all !

Omaha Zoo


Hello all
We went to the zoo in Omaha this weekend. It was the best zoo that I have been to. We left on Friday after work and came home on Sunday afternoon. It was a short drive and we stayed in a great hotel (thanks again Stacy). We spent the whole day there, we got there right when it opened at 8:30 and stayed until 4:00. It was a long fun day. There is a lot to be said about getting there early and beating the crowd. We did the aquarium and the bug house first thing we walked right thought with out a line and lots of room to stop and look. When we were walking back by at 3:30 to see the aquarium again the line to get in was out the door! Tucker wanted to go again but we didn't want to wait in line. We got in the car and he was asleep in two minutes!

When Tucker gets scared he covers his ears. Here the shark is swimming over the top of the tank. They had a tank that had sharks, stingrays, and all sorts of other fish that you actually walked through the center. It was about 30 feet long and10 feet wide. It was so cool! I should have gotten a picture of the walkway.


This was a big cylinder tank, so cool!



This was I think the coolest fish, it is a leafy sea dragon. Love it!
If you ask Tucker what his favorite animal at the zoo he will tell you a elephant, and his favorite part of the zoo was the train ride. We had so much fun and will have to go again soon . I will put more pictures up of the zoo.
Love to all! Hunter, Brooke and Tucker
