The Zoo

To all you Oklahomans: the OKC Zoo is free every Monday through February! The playgroup in my new ward took advantage of this yesterday and we all went. Nichole and Matthew joined us too - thanks Nichole. Since it was Groundhog day yesterday they also had a special Groundhog presentation at 10:30. Samuel and I showed up a little late and missed it. It turned out they didn't do a presentation with a groundhog, but with a bear...So, no groundhogs, but the bears were pretty cool. Here are some pictures of our adventure:Samuel and Matthew checking out the fish. Samuel absolutely loves fishMatthew and Samuel in front of a giant gorilla. The gorillas were pretty cool too - one came right up to the glass and stared at Samuel. He was pretty excited.In front of the giraffes - my favorite animals! Samuel was watching the Ostrich in this picture.Playing on the jungle gym.
Samuel had a lot of fun. We didn't check out the whole park because it was a little chilly and Samuel was starting to get tired. However, when the weather warms up a bit we are definitely going to do this again, hopefully with Dad next time.

It looks like Samuel and Matthew had a good time. I love the picture by the gorilla. You need to make that an 8 x 10 and frame it and put it in Sam's room.

That was a lot of fun, wouldn't mind doing it again...when the weather isn't so bad and when I am dressed in better attire ;)
