Summer 2012 Bucket List: #37 Visit a Zoo

After Matthew's last day as Marshalltown Perkins General Manager, he wanted us to get away as a family.  It had been over 5 years since we'd been to the Omaha Zoo and he wanted to go back:)  We went to Old Market to walk around in the evening and ate at Zio's Pizzeria.  Back at the hotel we even got Matthew in the pool!  It was early to bed so we could be early to rise, with temperatures in nearing 106 we wanted to be sure to get there right at opening before it was too hot.









My personal favorite this time was the gorillas.  The one on the right leaned his tired head against the glass and looked at us for the longest time with adorable eyes.  Carter is matching his hand on the glass to the one on left:)  Matthew's favorite was the bears, Lanie's was the alligator, and Carter's was "the puma or the bobcat."
