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! |
Turtles with deflated shell |
Carson found a swing |
Looking around at the rainforest |
Monkey family |
Williams family |
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.... |
