Last Saturday we woke up and decided it was a great day to take Cole to Tulsa to the zoo. We have taken him to a couple of other zoos before but he was too little to really enjoy it. When we mentioned to him that morning that we were going to go to the zoo he packed his bag and was so excited to get going! It is about an hour and a half drive from here so we set out that morning and arrived a little before lunch. It was so cute to see Cole take everything in and enjoy it so much. He agreed to ride in his stroller in between exhibits but as soon as we would pull up to a new one he would shout "hold me up!" I swear that boy is so smart...he would tell us things about the animals that I had no idea he knew. For example, he saw a patch of bamboo in a garden and he said "Panda Bears eat bamboo." Who Knew he knew that?! Anyway...we had a nice picnic lunch and got to see every animal that they had. What made the day even better was that the zoo had a train. Cole wanted to ride that train as soon as he saw it and so, of course, we did! The smile never left his face. He got to run around and play on a neat playground and then we found the petting zoo. Oh my! Cole was in heaven there - he was able to pet the goats and sheep and look at the rabbits. After about 4 hours we were all pooped and decided to head home. I am so thankful for times like this. It was an absolute fantastic day - one that I will not forget.
