Omaha Zoo

The great thing about the Omaha Zoo is that on a chilly day, you can still go and see a lot of animals in the buildings.

We went to the Desert Dome first.

In the basement of the Desert Dome is Creatures of the Night.

 Robert loves Alligators.  Here is a very rare white alligator.

Then we went into the Jungle which is my favorite building.

 Here is the cool rope bridge that I have not been on yet.

Hailey's so brave to go all by herself.

We are watching the baby monkey. I was very fascinated with the interaction between the fearless baby and the very concerned mother.

Hailey loves the limelight and started doing little poses for Grampa.

We haven't gotten in the butterfly building yet because no strollers are allowed. However, we never miss a photo ob on the butterfly chairs.

We finished up at the Aquarium.  Robert and Hailey are taller then King Penguins but not quite as tall as Emperor Penguins.

We had a fun day but it ended on a sad note.  We were sitting at picnic tables outside for a little snack break, when Robert tipped his metal wired chair and fall on the floor. He bit his tongue so hard that there was a long cut.  He almost cut through his tongue.  It was hard to look at and I was very concerned about it but there is nothing to do for a tongue injury.  The next day, the cut seemed to close some and was completely healed a whole week later.  Unfortunately, this was only the start of his accidents on our vacation.
