Our trip to the Zoo

Yesterday my family visited the Omaha Henry Dorely Zoo.

The passes expire April 1st and it was a nice day so...

Our first stop was the butterfly exibit (a family favorite).

Josh was kind enough to let me use his camera so I became "photographer" for the visit.

The exibit houses some other animals, some quite interesting.

Here's the two youngest (Joy and Matthew) on the octapus.

One thing that was new for me was being the oldest child on the trip.

(Angie was visiting a friend and Caleb was roofing)

Our next stop was the aquarium.

This was Matthews favorite fish (he loves orange)

I was surprised to find they have a large penguin exibit.

Some of the penguins had some funny antics

The pond that this creature found itself in had a sign by it that

said they think this was the type of condition in which life first began. (A flooded forest.)

I didn't realize how hard it was to photograph sharks... until I tried it myself.

This was the best picture I got and as you can see it was pretty bad.

A black and white fish is alot easier to photograph. :)

and siloetes are pretty easy too. :)

If anyone can tell me who this aquarium watcher was I'd really appreciate it. :)

I got some other pictures that should have some great captions.

They'll come later as soon as I can think of some.
