If you don't mind I'm going to add to this what the pier looks like. I wonder if they have come back. #8264082

They haven't made it to Omaha yet, although the polar bears are starting to arrive! :-) I'm surprised a Marine biologist didn't have some tracking devices on at least one of them..that way we'd know where they were. I hope they return too!! #8264156
