Our Trip to the Zoo

Monday morning my sister-in-law called and asked if we wanted to go to the zoo with her and four of her six kids. Of course we said yes! It was going to be one of our last warm days for a little bit so we knew we wanted to get out and do something fun. Addie was so excited she could hardly go to sleep the night before.

Tuesday morning we got up and I walked outside to see what it felt like to know how to dress the girls....it was BEAUTIFUL!!! The weather couldn't have been better, it was already warm and there was no wind! So, I dressed the girls in shorts and short sleeve shirts and we headed to meet Jenni. Neither one of us could believe how nice it was and we were so excited. We got to the zoo and we were loading all the kids up in the strollers and we noticed that it wasn't as warm as it was just an hour ago. We thought it was just shaded and that as the morning went on it would warm up. So, we headed into the Oklahoma City Zoo! The kids were so excited and Addie kept asking to see the monkeys. I told her that we would see the monkeys last. We had a great time there was hardly anyone there and so the kids could just run around and we didn't really have to worry about them. But as we continued to go through the zoo we realized that it was getting colder, not warmer! We felt so bad becuase we had not brought jackets or anything for our kids, but they didn't care because they were having a great time.

We headed to the playground for a little bit before we were headed to the monkeys. As the kids were playing two of Jenni's kids slid down the slide into a huge puddle of water! Now they were freezing!! We decided we were just going to head home because we cold to, so we loaded them up in the car and headed home. The whole time we were loading up, Addie was screaming. She wouldn't stop and I was getting so frustrated....finally I figured it out, she wanted to see the monkeys!!!!! We were so cold I didn't think it would be a big deal if we didn't go. Well, it was a big deal to Addie. I felt horrible!! So I guess we will be going back very soon, just for the monkeys!!!!
