Tulsa Zoo

John took a vacation day on Tuesday, so he got a nice 4 day weekend and we got an extra day with our Daddy.  We packed up and headed over to Tulsa to the zoo.  I wish we had a zoo closer -- we do have the drive-thru safari, but I'm talking about a real zoo here people.  Anyways...

The zoo opened at 9am and we pulled into the parking lot at...drum roll please, 9:00 on the dot!  It was the start to a perfect day.  Addison wore her big girl panties all day and didn't have an accident while we were in Tulsa...thank you pint-sized potty in the back of the Trail Blazer!  I think we were like one of 20 groups at the zoo that morning, it was so nice to let Addison just run around and do her thing.  She had a wonderful time! 

Only thing we wished we would have seen was a 'z-ba' they didn't have any.  And her favorite part of the day...the train ride at the end -- of course, not the elephant or the giraffe...the train!

She sat down and posed and said cheese...
So we took her picture.

 

After the zoo we headed across town to eat at Weber's Root Beer Stand...my pick!  I remember eating at the Root Beer Stand in Michigan City when I was a kid -- frosty mugs of root beer and the little tray they hang off your window with the food on it.  Well, this wasn't exactly the same but the root beer sure was good!  The burgers and fresh cut fries were pretty good too. 

 

 

The root beer stand just happened to be around the corner from a Whole Foods Grocery Store, coincidence -- I think not! :)  So we made a quick stop there before we made our way back home.
