Our day at the Tulsa Zoo!

This weekend we took the boys to the zoo here in Tulsa and had THE best time! Emmet and Wes jabbered a hundred miles a minute about all neat animals! It was so cute! Their favorite exhibits by far were the monkeys and the "feesh" aquariums. Hahaha! It was so funny watching them put their faces up to the glass and make monkey sounds at all the monkeys! It was a super hot day at about 90 degrees (dumb weather forecast said it would be cloudy! BOO!) but we still had lots of fun even with the nasty sweat rolling down our faces! The boys were troopers, like usual, and handled the heat better than I did! We ate a yummy (expensive!) lunch there and then finished our day taking a ride on the train! Needless to say Emmet and Wes were in heaven! They kept yelling "Choo Choo" and making the motion of honking a horn! I love boys! Hahaha! We bought a year pass so we'll be spending lots of time at the zoo! I'm so excited because it was beautiful, huge, and had lots of fun parks surrounding it! Doesn't get better than that!


Gorgeous scenery all over the place...I love how green it is here. Not at all what I was expecting!

My poor boys enduring the summer heat!

Me and my boys...they're getting so big!

We were lucky to see lots of animals in this heat wave! I sure would be hiding out!

My goofy boys! They had lots of cool mosaic artwork all over the place. I loved it, totally my kind of thing!

Strolling through the chimp and reptile observatory.

I let the boys loose and they had a ball climbing and getting a real close look at all the fish! They saw lots of "Nemo" fish, as they would say. Emmet was such a goof, he would put his fingers up to all the fish mouths and act like they were biting him...and pull his finger away really quickly. Hahaha! Oh, Em :)


Weston doesn't miss a thing :)


I saw this sign on every exhibit...freaked me out a bit!

More pretty mosaic stuff and I love flamingos!

...and I love zebra!

Final destination...the train! Yay! The boys were too busy looking at all the fun stuff to take a good picture! Oh well!

See ya next weekend, Zoo!
