If I Ran the Zoo...

“It’s a pretty good zoo,” said young Gerald McGrew, “and the fellow who runs it seems proud of it, too.”
Dr. Seuss 


Last week I decided that Andrew and I needed some fun. The weather was predicted to be amazing and so that fun was to be done outside. 
I did some research around the area to find something that was unusual and creative that we would both enjoy together. 
After chatting with a friend from our church I decided to go to the Safari zoological Park in Caney Kansas. Its is pretty cool to live so close to another state. It only took about 40 minutes to get out there. It was such a fun time. We got there around 2 and had a picknic lunch that was very yummy and kinda healthy. Then we got a tour around the zoo by the owner. Here are some pictures that we took. 

The monkeys were my favorite animals!

These two were very interested in each other...
they had no problem showing us just how interested they were... 

These are the famous White Tigers that were raised by a Golden Retriever. 

 The adventure was amazing!! 
It was sad to hear that the zoo isnt doing well at all! Every year for the past several years, they have to make a decision on staying open or not. If you live in the Bartlesville area PLEASE make the time to go out there this summer. It is well worth it. You will not regret taking the time!

So after several weeks of very cold weather including 2 record setting snow storms here in Oklahoma, spring has finally started to show up... Here is some proof...

We had daffodils all around our house... it looks like someone randomly put them in odd spots. It was definitely not thought out very well. But nonetheless it was beautiful!! I loved spotting the little peaks of yellow showing up! 

This picture is random, but I decided to make cookies one night. Not sure why... but I did. Anyways, this is what happens when you turn the mixer on too fast with loose flour in it. Not a cool thing to clean up at 9:30 at night. :) Oh well. The cookies were yummy and worth it!
