We loved the Omaha Zoo so much that we had to go back another day. Really, we only saw about half of it the first day and we wanted to see a Imax movie too.

First up was the aquarium. Very nicely done - all the usual suspects - beautiful underwater scenes.


We wandered around - there were some prairie dogs loose in the zoo - cool little dudes - they were free to roam where ever they liked.



Then we were off to see some of the bigger animals. An elephant, of course. Looked happy and healthy.



And some antelope. This baby was just a few weeks old.


Rode the chairlift a couple of times for a neat overhead view.


We had a little free time before the IMAX movie came on, so we went back into the aquarium. Caught this perfect shot of an angel fish. Nice to be able to do this with out all the SCUBA gear!


Dinner was at Roja's - a nice mexican restaurant with a theme - red, of course!


The obligatory group shot - aren't we cute? (remember, Duane's not here yet, but it would have been even cuter if he was!!)



On the walk back to the hotel, we stopped at the wonderful little park with a couple of fabulous metal slides. Eaven found a roll of wax paper that someone had left - really makes the slide slippy!




This is an action shot of him just off the slide - and right before he tumbled to the ground!



Yep, it was fun!

Wow that looks like it was fun! I looooved the baby antelope and the prairie dogs! They're not worried about someone stepping on them or harassing them? Glad you had a good time!
