OKC Zoo

Leave a comment

I said in the post I did on the OKC History Center that I would show you our trip to the OKC Zoo also and I never did!

Oops…

Better late then never, right?

Since we go to the Tulsa Zoo a lot, I could not help but compare the two during this trip.

This one did have a water play area that looks like a creek.

With how hot our summers are this would be really nice to have in the Tulsa one as well.

The exhibits were kind of bigger and more impressive looking then the Tulsa Zoo but the problem with that was the boys were more interested in the exhibit then the animals.

They did get bonus points for having a Red Panda!

So cute!

This zoo feels bigger and we were not even able to finish it.

I was completely worn out.

Even though I think it is bigger, I do not think there are more animals then the Tulsa one.

At least not that I could tell.

Baby Elephant!

We had fun and the boys really enjoyed getting to go to a different zoo.

I am glad to know that I can go to the closer zoo without feeling like I am missing out too much though.

It is nice that I have two zoo’s close enough that I can choose which one I want to go to!

I am so spoiled.

A garden teepee.

I saw the idea on SouleMama’s blog.

Her blog is so beautiful you can’t help but find something inspiring there.

She made teepee’s in her garden for some of her climbing plants to grow up on but also so her children could play in them.

I loved the whimsy and I really wanted to do something similar for my garden.

She used branches but I did not really have any I could use so I bought these bamboo poles at Walmart for less then a dollar a piece.

I bought the twine at a farm store but I think Walmart carries it also.

I held the four poles together and just wrapped the twine all around the top.

Then I started at the bottom of a pole tying the twine to one, then wrapping it around and zig zagging my way to the top.

I left two sides open because I was worried about blocking this path for my dog.

It is right next to my vegetable and herb garden and I was worried she might choose to walk through that instead!

My Morning Glories are already climbing it!

I get to see this everytime I look out my kitchen window and it always makes me smile.

Do you have anything that makes you smile in your garden right now?

Something fun or maybe even silly?

You should!

My Pervoskia has just started blooming also!

So much to smile about in my garden right now.

Hope you find many things to delight in today!
