Oklahoma City Zoo

Today we went with the Jensens (the other family here with us for a few weeks) to the Zoo in Oklahoma City. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect in the morning. We decided to go first thing so we would be done by the time the hottest part of the day rolled around. Some of the animals we saw were bears, wolves, lions, elephants, rhinos, eagles, alligators and several others. We didn't even make it to part of the zoo because it was just so big! After we saw the animals that we did see we let the kids play on this awesome playground to deplete the rest of their energy for the ride home! They had a blast and I'm so glad we got to go...we may just have to go again while we are here so Parker can see the Children's Zoo (which we didn't make it to).

We rented a double stroller since we don't have one...Parker didn't really sit in it very much however...oh well it became a great place to pack our stuff into!
Don't really know what this was, some rhino looking thing! lol
Parker didn't really want to look at the camera...at all!
Tyler was all for it, however!
Family photo!
Elephant #1- This exhibit has only been open a week apparently. It was pretty amazing, and huge!
Elephant #2
Amber, her 2 girls and Parker at the Elephant Exhibit
Cougar!
Sarah and Parker found a squirrel on the path and stopped to watch it for a minute.
Grizzly Bear
Our last attempt at a family picture...Tyler was too interested in the waterfall behind us, which made it a little difficult to get him to look at the camera!
The awesome playground (only a part of it) that the kids loved!

What a fun way to spend the day! If you do make it out to the east coast maybe we could meet up and head tp the beach! But looks like you get to have lots of fun adventures this summer!
