Vacation- Omaha/ Nauvoo/ Bloomsbury Farm

We went to the amazing Omaha Zoo. They have wild jungle exhibits to explore and an aquarium that completely surrounds you and even a night exhibit almost completely in the dark...very spooky when you go to the zoo and you can't quite tell what creature is swimming next to you (they're beavers.)



We walked back from Nebraska to Iowa over the Missouri River.



We explored the Lauritzen Gardens, which were fantastic, especially the "Train Garden."


We took Mom and Stephanie to Nauvoo and learned all kinds of cool things, like how to make rope and horse shoes and bricks. We rode an oxcart and we toured the city in a horse drawn wagon. We got to see Joseph Smith's house and we toured through Brigham Young's.




We went to Bloomsbury Farm and found all kinds of fun activities, like the bounce pillow, the car racers, the corn box, a fun house, and of course the 10 acre corn maze.
