The zoo

Today we woke up late, and took our time getting ready, and headed for the Oklahoma City Zoo. I finally convinced Grandpa that I could drive, so I got to drive us to the zoo!

We got there it was very hot, we didn't find out until way later that it was really 110 degrees out. Not like in Maine, when we say it's 110 degrees out and it's really only 80, here it was really 110 degrees out.

I had never been to a zoo like that. It was really nice, and the tour guy said they has over 2,400 animals there. We saw everything, and instead of writing about it I'll just post lots of pictures.

























At some point, when we were all so hot we couldn't stand it, we realized that it was 110 degrees out and hopped on the little trolley that went around the zoo. Then we were going to go do other things after the zoo, but it was just too hot so we went back to the RV Park.

We weren't going to go see any fireworks because grandpa didn't want to drive in downtown Oklahoma City, but then we thought we knew where to go, so we set out to go see them. We were wrong about where to go though, so we ended up on some road with people blowing off thier personal fireworks all around us, and then we went back to the RV park and we could see the real show way off in the distance.

That was pretty much it.

Happy 4th of July eveyone!

110 degrees!! J----!
All your chocolate bars must have melted.
I'm glad dad got some fireworks. Did you get any pictures of those being set off?? Or maybe your all waiting for the right time.
Please let everyone know that Nelson flipped himself over for the first time last week!!
