Omaha Zoo the Jungle Area

The First outing of the Safari and I'm Distracted by having my picture taken and miss the first Chic!



Well here we all are looking full of energy at the first of the day.

I can read his mind "Well what are you looking at!"



I'm not putting all the pictures I took in here. May look like it but I took over 200! The water Fall


You walk under it and just a few drops come through on you and think it is the recycled water from below with the fish and animal droppings?


Taken out under the Falls

Well the Kids are already getting tired of posing for pictures? Gayla only took 119 due to clearing her camera card!

These Fish? Are big 6 or more feet? Did not get to see what they are called and If I would remember?



Black squirrel have seen in Red Feather, Co. but they had bigger ears.

Lunch time!
The Pizzas were not much larger than the diameters of soft drinks so they topped off with popcorn



Aysha, Gayla and Ce Ce on Skyride across Zoo while we went in to Butterfly exhibit.

We were rest-ting up above at the Cat exhibit while Gayla, Ce Ce and Aysha went down to the front bear area. And this Brown Bear was a Ham. he waved to the people in front of him and Stood up begging for food which some one did throw.




We did see Cats, Elephants and more but to many to put in. This last picture taken at Zoo is after coming out of the Desert Lands Dome and the Food and Drink areas were closed. so we had a day of it and I could not have walk much farther, even with the stops we took. The Kids
slept 2 hrs on the way home.
Will make another trip some time but we did not miss to much, We all even got a train ride in.

Take a good look at this it is a Horror Story - I sat in that Chair (closest thing to a torture chair) many a time to the grinding of that old Drill and the picking of those other tools!
? Does this make me feel OLD?
I can say I do not remember one good thing about it!
