A Day at the Zoo

As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, stick around (for a day or so) and it will change."  This was definitely the case when we went to the zoo.  Not many days in January are warm and in the 70's.  So, we took advantage of Saturday, January 3rd.  It was so warm and sunny, so we loaded up and headed to the zoo.  We stopped off an enjoyed some Sonic for lunch.  Logann "accidentally" poked her straw through her cup as she sat in her car seat, so she had a special "strut" as she walked around the zoo.  It was actually a blessing in disguise because she wanted to ride in the stroller instead of walk because her pants were wet. The giraffes were amazing, and we loved looking at the gorillas and talking to the ostriches.  The elephants were shipped off to Tulsa, but the rhinoceroses took their place nicely.  After looking at the fish, we stopped at the playground and then enjoyed a ride on the merry-go-round.

After the zoo, we stopped to do some shopping at the mall, and we stopped to get some birthday invitations at Hobby Lobby.  When we left the Hobby Lobby parking lot, the temperature was 68.  We drove straight to Yukon to eat at Chili's.  In the time that it took us to drive from Hobby Lobby to Chili's, the temperature had dropped to 42.  We enjoyed a nice dinner, then braved the wind and the cold to drive home.  

What a day!  We enjoyed the sunshine, the warmth, the animals, good food, family time, the wind, and the cold.  Only in Oklahoma!
