Zoo Trip and Feigning Youth

The day started with a short-ish three hour trip to the OKC Zoo, the primary driver of which was seeing the newly-opened Children's Zoo. It's a very nice addition, and boy did they get it done quick! When we were at the zoo in January, I only recall seeing red clay, a few partial concrete structures, and that's it really. Yet they had it open by March, and now in May, it seems like it has been here for years. I'm impressed. I didn't take very many generic pictures of the new addition because it was VERY crowded and we were moving right along. But it is equipped with the expected petting zoo and climbing areas, as well as an aviary, and the best part, the waterfall/stream where the kids can take off their shoes and walk in the water. Ideal on such a hot day. There are other components as well, but you can read about those on the zoo website. Suffice it to say I think they did an excellent job and we'll be going back to enjoy it further in the future.








After the zoo trip we grabbed lunch, and the girls went to hang out with some friends while I attended a church young adult's group BBQ. I barely make the cut for the definition of "young", and I was definitely one of, if not the, oldest there (most were in their 20s), but it was a good time. There was plenty of food and snacks, a rock band (video game) contest, and other games as well. Knew a few people already, but met a lot of new ones. Think I'll go again next month.
