Perfect day at the zoo

Today Russ, Mom, Dad, and I took the boys to the Tulsa zoo. We had SO much fun! I won't go into the fact that we were all very tightly squeezed into my Escalade, that I got car sick due to sitting in the floor in the back, Russ forgot he wasn't back home in England and got confused on which side of the road he should be driving on, getting lost in Tulsa even when you have Onstar, or eating at the most disgusting McDonald's know to man. Other than that, it was a PERFECT DAY!
The first animals we saw were the elephants. Ashton was in awe over them. I am not sure if it was their size, the fact that the zoo staff were giving them bathes, or that it was his first animal to see. No matter why, you couldn't pry him away. He was so excited and was just squealing. I told Russ that just watching him look at them made the trip totally worth while. The twins also LOVED it! They both would point to all the animals and yell, "Look!"

More pointing!

This is Ashton running from animal to animal, which he did ALL day!

Just a cute picture of Ashton

Henry wearing Dad's "cool" hat he bought at the gift shop to protect his neck which was already sunburned.

Ashton and his daddy as we were leaving the zoo. Oh, by the way, do you all like Russ' sunglasses? He bought them at Walgreen's this week and swears he looks just like Johnny Knoxville! Not sure he is someone I would aspire to look like but that is Russ! So silly!!!
So much fun! Thanks MiMi and PaPa for coming along and for sitting in the back so I didn't get sick! We had a blast!!!

Well if Russ wants to look like Johnny Knoxville on Jackass he needs to wear those glasses and some of your underwear and run around the zoo.
