1st Trip to the OKC Zoo




Joby and I went to the Oklahoma City Zoo with our new friends, Virginia and her 3 year old, Jackson. It was very hot and very crowded. Virginia was very nice to let us in for free on her season pass and parking is always free, so how could we say no. We played on the outside playground, until we were too hot. Then, we saw the elephants, hippos, rhinos, and orangutans. We stopped in with the orangutans to have lunch because they had air conditioning. The boys loved playing and running around inside. Joby seemed to enjoy seeing the animals. The zoo is very large and we plan on going again soon. Joby had a 3 hour nap that afternoon, which I needed, as well.

The zoo looks like a nice place to go. Is some of it air conditioned. It must not be that far away from you. I wish we had a zoo closer. The only good ones are at least 1 1/2 hours away as you know. We have five grand kids here this week--the boys and Jaelyn. A zoo would be a fun place to go, but it's a ways to drive and then it is so hot once we get there. I am not sure that it would be all that fun this time of year. We've been hitting different pools and the lake to stay cool besides a cattle auction, a panther youth camp, Lowes Motor Speedway, lunches at Arbys and tye dyeing shirts. It's fun.
