We got around fairly early and headed to Omaha, NE. Got to the zoo around 10:00. First stop was a bathroom break. We then went through the Desert Dome. That was pretty cool and got to see lots of different desert dwellers and other interesting animals. Then we went to check out the gorillas. After the gorillas, it was getting a little warm, so the girls cooled off.
After a few more animal visits, we went for a ride on the tram. From here we could see several different animals, the train and lots of other things.
Here is a picture of my bride and I.
After visiting the penquins and aqaurium, both of which were great, we decided we were hot enough and had seen enough of the zoo. We did a little shopping and visited Cabelas. By this time it was almost time to meet up with Susans cousin. Susan had not seen her cousin Jimmy in over 20 yrs. They recently found each other on Facebook and had texted each other getting caught up. Susan was extremely nervous, but happy to see him. When he showed up at our prearranged meeting point, Susan and Madison went out. Jimmy had a hard time believing that Sis belonged to Susan. We visited for about an hour. Jimmy then had to get on the road as he had a load of pigs to deliver in Idaho on Wednesday. He's making plans to come visit us in September.

We had decided earlier to drive to Topeka for the night. Madison drove most of the way and I finished off the last 40 miles or so. We arrived at the Broxterman Bed and Breakfast around midnite. We were all tired, as it had been a long and hot day.
