The Omaha Zoo

Today we’re off to the Omaha Zoo and I’m so excited! I’ve always enjoyed going to zoo’s, even as a kid. There’s just something about animals that makes any day better. They have stories of their own, and even though they are caged, they give back to society in ways that we never will. They are nature. Many zoos have become a safe refuge for animals who found themselves in the circus, or chained to a tree. I’m not sure what the story of the Omaha Zoo is, but according to their website they are the biggest one in the world. In the world! One thing I have enjoyed about the zoo’s we’ve visited in the past is they take a lot of pride in providing a safe home for animals that needed to be rescued. That can’t be said for all zoo’s, unfortunately, so I hope that Omaha doesn’t disappoint me… we shall see. I’ll let you know if I’m able to ride an elephant, or if I had to settle for a stinky camel… they spit!
