Someone Told Me It's All Happening at the Zoo

We have been wanting to take Claire to the zoo for a long time but timing, weather etc just hadn’t worked out until last week. And if we didn’t go soon, Mommy wouldn’t be able to go anymore (Mommy barely made it as it was). But the Tulsa Zoo was off to a good start when we were looking for parking spaces . . .

Hallelujah!

Our so original idea to take a pic by the sign. :)
(Mommy sometimes doesn’t realize how big she is until she sees a pic or catches her image in a mirror.)

Here are the camels everyone questions Claire if she really saw them. I think it is when she says “Alice the camel has three humps.”  But if you look closely, they do kind of look like they have three humps.

A monkey.

Claire liked all the monkeys. Daddy did too.

The rhinoceros (or rhinoceroses or rhinoceri) that we almost didn’t see. We thought they were big rocks at first. I zoomed in for the pic.

Off-roading to go see the rhinos.

Perhaps her favorite part of the zoo . . .

the playground (and the train that somehow we didn’t get a pic of)

The pretty flamingos.

We had a great time at the zoo. It was a good first zoo for a two and a half year old. Can’t wait to take her to a bigger one. She has been talking about it ever since and carries around her map of the zoo and shows everyone where the animals are. She is so cute and so much fun. We had a great day as a family. Next time she wants to take Baby Brother. :)
