Zoo Day

On Thursday, my family of four went to the Tulsa Zoo. It was so refreshing to get out on such a nice day and spend it with my favorite people at a fun place. I couldn't have asked for a more go with the flow day. I had a blast and am already trying to plan another trip sometime in October.




Now, normally when we go to places like this, I like to have a plan. "Ok, first we will go here then we will do this and then it will be time to go over here...." and so forth. Which is totally ridiculous, I know. So I mentally told myself before we went, "It's ok if we don't see everything there is to see, and I am just going to follow Jeffery and we will do whatever he wants to do". I only say Jeffery because Cane isn't old enough to make such decisions yet. I want to be a fair mom as much as possible.



Well, that is exactly what we did. When we first walked in and did our pottying and what not a kind Zoo Lady told us about the hands on exhibit for the kids, so we did that first. Then I figured we could do the carousel, then the train. So we get there and I told Jeff my plan and he said "NOOO, I want to ride the train first!" I was about to start telling him about how if we did the carousel then the train it would work out better because of how I had it mapped out, BUT I didn't. We rode the train. And guess what everything was still just perfect.


Sooooo, "I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way" ha ha ha. No, seriously though, letting them lead day was a blast because I kind of felt like I was viewing the zoo through his eyes in a way and kids need that afterall, a day now and then where they call all the shots. Within reason, that is.
