Lion King....IRL!





This Saturday, we went on a behind-the-scenes tour at the Tulsa Zoo with Danny's parents to see the big cat exhibit. Even though we were safely behind 'bars' (yep, I would have preferred a little less safe-no petting, bummer!) it didn't detract from the true wildness & majesty of these animals. There's just something about cats (and for anyone that knows me, that includes literally any kind of cat) that just gets to me-no matter the size, each one is so graceful, with all that intelligence & power....Oh well, I'll stop now;) Another huge highlight was the carousel *yippee*! It was Andrew's first time & he got a little nervous a couple of times (after we switched to the tiger-the giraffe didn't go up & down) but did great-as you can see by the smiles. We used his harness....and he persisted in walking himself-if we tried to hold the tail, he would whip around & take it away and start walking again. Ah, the independence of kids;) I hope to have the finished yard pictures soon, but this morning it started raining & hasn't stopped long enough for me to get outside.
