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.

Visiting the Aquarium and Zoo with Family

My boys love going to the Oklahoma Aquarium!

I am so glad we were able to go this time with my nephew!

My boys love talking for the turtles.

The beavers were out and in rare form that day!

They got to see lots of the animals being fed.

Of course they had to touch the sharks and stingrays!

Have you ever been to an aquarium?

I think my boys are a little spoiled when it comes to things like this.

They think nothing of seeing sharks and stingrays…

We also made a trip to the Tulsa Zoo last week.

I thought the mustache tattoos I bought at the Science Museum would be perfect for our zoo visit.

Pictures are just more fun with little boys wearing fake mustaches…

My oldest had his heart set on going as Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight but did decide he could be in disguise.

That look cracks me up!

I thought they looked like little construction workers on lunch break.

They got a lot of comments about their mustaches!

A zoo employee told them he thought they were not old enough for a beard and a mustache, just a mustache.

As we walked away my youngest got a big smile on his face and said, “It WORKED! We tricked him! He thought we were adults!”

I love that kid.

I told them to wiggle their mustaches…

It was such a great time!

I am not sure how I am going to top going to the zoo as little old men though…

Day 6

30 day project.

Without my phone, I would probably not let my boys play as long as they wanted to.

I bring a book or my kindle if I know we are going to a park but these unexpected play sessions are harder to predict.

Like them wanting to spend twenty minuets on the play boat at the zoo chasing bad guys.

They realized some animals were watching them so they decided to give them a show…

He is blasting his brother with his chest.

We never see the Jaguars on the inside enclosure part so this was a real treat!

This one decided to be nice and give me the shot I was waiting for!

New favorite zoo pic!
