Omaha Zoo

Monkey and baby at the Omaha Zoo

The zoo has the largest indoor rainforest in the world!

Collin crossing the rope bridge

Jason's next to cross

Different monkeys - notice the one on the wall on the pipe. He was eating by himself. 

Collin and Caron playing on the branches

Ugliest rainforest animal I've ever seen

Now we're off to Africa!

Bet Dad would have liked to have fed these parriots

Fish that were the size of sharks!

And more monkeys

Now we're off the aquarium! FIrst stop - penguins.

Then Japanese spider crab

Jason and Collin in the tunnel

Happy stingray

I didn't like how many sharks were in the tunnel. They were only little ones though. 

So many sharks!

These were upside down jelly fish.

See. 

Colorful jellyfish

White jelly fish

I want this aquarium in my house 

Little Mermaid eels

Eewwww... these were called sea worms

Me, Jason and giant Carson

Now we're off the Desert Dome. They have lots of inside exhibits because it gets so cold.

Looking up at the dome from inside.

How will we get through??

Carson 

Inside the Desert Dome they had bat caves, Thank goodness the bats were behind cages. I don't like bats. 

Can you remember which are stalactites and stalagmites? 

That afternoon we went Downtown Omaha to see where Ryan (Jason's brother) works. The birds symbolize the bank 'taking off!' I don't know what the buffalo symbolizes. Scaring the birds?

Where Ryan works. 

The birds....

The birds are made out of part iron part stainless steel which apparently is hard for the artist since they melt at different temperatures. More symbolism....

I've been looking for some good Husker coverage!

Ryan outside his new job

His building is the tallest building between Chicago and Denver...or something. 

Jason and Ryan. Very American. 

This is where we chose to eat dinner. They had self serve beer taps at the table!

This is how much we drank....
