Today Grayson had his first visit to the Oklahoma City Zoo. We are lucky to have a great zoo here and my mom and I were excited to watch him discover the animals.
We only planned to explore the new children's zoo area and maybe see a few other exhibits, but Gray did so well we were able to see nearly the entire zoo. We were all hot, hungry and worn out by the time it was over. Tonight it was all he could do to finish his dinner, bathe and was in bed before 7 p.m. (something that hasn't happened in a long time).
Here are some of the day's highlights:
Hello there!
Hugs for Mr. Giraffe
In a nod to my sister Amy, we got Grayson his first animal mold-a-rama (aka a plastic animal shape that is molded as you watch). This oddball contraption was one of our childhood favorites. We decided on a lion since Gray seemed to like that exhibit and likes to ROAR!
Sometimes you gotta let a bit of silly out
Just to prove all the animals weren't bronze statues, here's an animal I discovered for the first time today and must say, I think is on my list of favorites. Business in the front (solid brown like a deer), party in the back (like a zebra).
Grayson also really loved the bird exhibits. He likes watching a Cardinal family in our backyard and the colorful combinations he saw today really seemed to impress him.
