Oklahoma ~ Day Five and Going Home
Well the blog has been put on the back burner for the past month or so. We've had a lot of different things going on so blogging naturally falls down the priority ladder.
But I'm back today to wrap up our Oklahoma trip. After that I plan to highlight some of the fun stuff we have done over the summer. We've had a good summer, but we are very ready for all that is fall!
Our final full day in Oklahoma our destination was the Oklahoma City Zoo!
On the way to the zoo, we drove by the State Capital. As I mentioned in a previous post, we were in Oklahoma during the public school teacher strike. I say that because when we drove by the capital, it was crawling with teachers on strike. They and their families were everywhere. It was quite a sight! We even saw someone selling sno cones. That was a smart move - what a way to cash in and provide some refreshment.
We were a little concerned when we pulled up to the zoo because it was extremely crowded (again, teacher's strike=no school), but thankfully once we parked, paid and got in, everyone spread out and it wasn't an issue at all.
They had so many beautiful tulip blooms spread out all over the zoo grounds.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but we had a great time and so much fun!! We looked at a variety of animals, rode the carousel and train and had a yummy lunch.
This might be my favorite picture from the whole trip. The joy in his face (we were looking at silly sea otters).
After the zoo we went out to dinner and then Parker wanted too go for one last dip in the pool.
On our way home, we stopped by the Oklahoma City Bass Pro for Parker. Even though we have one near us, it's always fun to visit others.
There was some bad weather headed our way, but luckily we beat it and left it behind us. Peace out Oklahoma.
This trip wasn't perfect. There were some bloopers along the way and some things didn't quite work out as planned, but it was fun, we were together and sweet memories were made.

The next day it was time to pack up and head home. We were sad to leave, but grateful for the fun and family time we had. We had a light hotel breakfast and packed up. We drove thought the downtown area one last time.
Thanks for traveling along with us.
Until we meet again...
