Member Day @ the Zoo







Wednesday, August 5th was Member's day at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo. After Doug got off work, we drove the kids up to the zoo. It was a packed house that day, so we just did a few things that we normally don't get to do. We got to go above the aquarium and look down on all the fish and sharks, which was pretty neat! Samantha tried on a "dive pack" that a scuba diver would normally wear. She almost fell over because it was so heavy! Next, we headed through the actual aquarium, however it was quite disappointing because all the penguins were asleep! We walked to the giraffes next and got to go above them where they are fed. The kids loved this, as giraffes are one of their favorite animals! It was really fun to watch the giraffes strip the leaves off a branch with his tongue! We were sick of all the crowds, so we decided to head for McDonald's for supper and then continue home.
