Presidents day

We planned a family outing to the zoo for Monday, because I love the zoo, and we hadn't been in a very long time. Kyle had school because, the stupid college makes up snow days, go figure, so Kyle and Timmi missed our family outing.

There were 14 of us piled in the 15 passenger van along with a stroller ice chest, multiple walmart sacks, coats, blankets, anything you might need for an artic trip because this is Oklahoma, and you never know what weather you might encounter.

Ben was not as thrilled about our trip to the zoo,because, he had to pay for it, and at 7.00 per adult and 4.00 per child it was going to be a pricey trip. I went to the admission stand and ordered a wagon to haul our misc. junk , ice chest, and crazy fearless children, and started trying to add up how many adult tickets, and how many child tickets i needed(who knew adults were12) the nice man behind the window was quite puzzled by my struggle, and finally said ma'am what are you counting? I answered ,all the people in my party, and he said why ma'am today is free day at the zoo. I jumped for joy, and almost hugged this poor unsuspecting mans neck free day at the zoo . We just saved 72.00, because it was free day at the zoo.

We had a wonderful day we walked and laughed, looked at the animals, dined on our gourmet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, and cookies. We loved the hippos, the giraffes, and the beautiful flamingos.

The sun was shining, the animals were all very active because the weather was cool, I saw more animals on this trip than any other. The little ones were thrilled with the family outing , it was a great day for everyone, and did I mention, it was free day at the zoo, some how that made it perfect.
