This morning as we sat in the middle of our Christmas tree boxes and ornament tubs that wait to go into the attic, we just decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to the zoo. We quickly dressed everyone in warm clothes, packed snacks, and headed out to see the animals.
Once we arrived at the zoo, Jeremy presented our coupon for one free admission. The zoo guy surprised us by handing us three tickets and saying, "Mondays are FREE in January and February!" Well, don't mind if we do and thank you very much! We tossed our coupon in the trash and headed in for our FREE day in the zoo. Did I mention that it was FREE??!?!
The day consisted of cold air, leisure walks, and great family time! Merritt loved being nose to nose with the goats. 
She loved walking around with them, and she would have stayed there all day except we scooped her up once they started laying little pellets from their back sides! Surprise!

Logann was hoping to see the alligators, but they must have been inside because of the cold. To make up for it, she loved the gorilla who was napping on the hill. He had snatched a blanket and was snoozing in the sunshine. We laughed so hard to see him just lounging out in the grass!
After we completed our trek at the zoo, we surprised ourselves by deciding to head to Pop's in Arcadia. We each grabbed a bottle and sampled a specialty soda pop. Logann and Jeremy tried a cream soda and Merritt and I shared an Orange Cream. Deeeelish!!
Once we had chugged our pops, we drove over to Home Run Slider's for a burger. The restaurant, tucked neatly off of the UCO campus, offers slider burgers, fries, and specialty ketchups. Logann and I rotated between the Dr. Pepper ketchup and the strawberry ketchup. Yumm!
After dinner, we headed home for an early bed time. What a fun day!! Tomorrow is back to the ol' routine!
