Tulsa Zoo!

Pictures, Finally! I know. 

J and I ventured out on a beautiful Sunday (way too beautiful for January!) and visited the zoo in Tulsa. I hadn't been before, and really wanted to go.

This is only a taste of the pictures I actually took, but they are some of my favorites.

I wish I could say I had some more pictures...

... but part of living in the mid-South is that summer time is miserably hot. So, unless you want a picture more along the lines of this....

It's best to wait until Fall... or we move, whichever comes first. (It had better be us moving)

That said, here is an adorable video to tide my lone readers over. These are our two cats- Loki (gray and white) and Bandit (fat, black and white) playing.

Few pictures from today... more to come later

** As of Thursday, August 4th-- A large grass fire burned 111 buildings at the unoccupied, historic Chaffee Hospital in the Fort Chaffee area.
