"Heaven" in the 2 Kings 2:11 is defined by Strongs:
8064 shamayim shaw-mah'-yim
dual of an unused singular shameh shaw-meh'; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):--air, X astrologer, heaven(-s).
Throughout the old testament, the same word is used to refer not only to the realm of God but to the atomosphere. In fact, most of the usage of the words seems to be referring to the atompshere or the sky, or space. Rarely does it mean THE heaven.
