The "two's" are upon us!

Last weekend we went with another family to OKC for the weekend. The 6 of us loaded into our van. At this point, picture me in the back seat envisioning a fun weekend with many great memories, laughter filling the van, etc...

45 minutes into the trip Roger surprises us with a LONG "necessary" parts stop by John Deere right in the middle of naps. So after a great 20 minute nap, the kids were up for the full day ahead. (strike 1)

We checked into our hotel in bricktown. I was to take MK up to the room with the bags, while Roger parked the van. MK at this time decides to begin an elevator phobia. After screaming all the way up to our room, I unloaded our bags in our room and continued to take my still very volatile child back downstairs to meet Roger and the rest of the crew. Mary Katherine at this point refuses to ride in the stroller for the walk to Zio's. Upon entering Zios, MK decides to scream, snot, slobber, and cry many tears for 20 minutes strait until Roger decides to carry her back to the hotel room. I order Roger's meal to go. I get back to the hotel room to discover MK surprisingly just fine now.

Let's now skip over to the next day...

I just knew MK would love the zoo! Animals have always been a favorite to talk about, read about, and sing about.

I was wrong!

It ended up a morning of MK eating too many treats and parents with worn out arms and bodies. It was hot and more work for mom and dad than enjoyment for MK.

Here we are at the beginning of the day!

Checking out some wild dogs I believe.

I just knew she'd love the mister. She LOVES all things related to water!

She did not love it!

I believe the "2's" are quickly approaching!
BUT we did get to get out of town with the 3 of us, which does not happen very often. And we enjoyed the company of our friends.

This pic below is from a different "zoo" trip we took with my mom to Dodge City. It's MUCH more on the smaller scale, but I think MK enjoyed it more than the Tulsa or OKC zoo.
