Lions, Tigers, and Bears...OH MY!!!

We headed to the Tulsa Zoo on Monday morning with my parents. All AK would talk about were MoNkEyS, so that was the TOP reason for going to the zoo, so as we entered through the front gates we pinpointed the monkey exhibit first. On our way to the monkeys we saw several other animals and Adlee LOVED all of them. She would say their names and their sound (if she knew it). As we walked by the turtle, she fell in love in. I am sure you read my blog about the turtle in our backyard earlier this summer...SO, the story continues. "Turtle Home" was still on her mind and she enjoyed seeing the large turtle. Then, we were on to see the elephants, bears, tigers, snakes, fishes, and more. About mid way through the zoo, we got on the choo, choo train and made a lap around the zoo. To end our fun zoo trip, AK and I rode a camel. It was a first time for both of us. It was quite a BUMPY ride, but we had a BLAST doing it. AK was so brave and she wanted to ride it several more times, but at $5.00 a person, Papa's money ran out after the first ride (LOL). Last, we took AK to the gift and guess what she chose as her zoo gift?!?!?! Well, a blue MONKEY, tiny little FROGS, and a large sucker. WOW, what a FUN-FILLED day at the zoo!!!

This is one HAPPY lil' girl with all her zoo prizes ready to head back to Uncle Roger's for a nap.


I think I took over 100 pics at the zoo including all the animals, but I didn't want to spend HOURS dowloading pics and talking about them. I am sure all of you have seen zoo animals and know what they look like, so I just put our HIGHLIGHTED moments in this blog entry.
