The Zoo

Since we were in "the city", we decided to take the kiddos to the Oklahoma City zoo. Here's a few photos from our afternoon there. As you can see, it was a BEAUTIFUL day!

Katie riding the Tiger
Ella on the something (can't remember what it was!)



Both on the turtle (Ella on the turtle's neck)
Ella on the Elephant
The peacock they were afraid of, but couldn't quit talking about afterwards. "He was bery, bery LOUD!", says Katie.

Here's the choo-choo train they rode ALL BY THEMSELVES! They were very brave... but, Katie kept her ears covered, just in case (her coping mechanism for when she's scared). She did that the entire ride! The second ride, however, she was brave enough to do it without covering her ears. Big girls!

Okay, so we are looking at the little monkeys, trying to take a picture. We get all excited because one of them stops near the glass and we think, GREAT, he stopped so we could take a picture and the girls could get a good look at him... Well, HE apparently was a SHE and as I was pulling out the camera, she was jumped by her boyfriend. So, the girls get a little nature lesson while viewing the monkeys at the zoo! Nice photo, huh?
