This week was spring break. Sis #2 and kids came over for a visit. Our sis-in-law suggested a trip to the Zoo in OKC. This would be Ruby's first trip to see the animals. Sounds like a good idea, right?
WRONG!!!!!!
Apparently, it was a record attendance day at the OKC Zoo. In addition to our little group of 11, there were 17, 989 other poor folks! We were there 2 hours before we even saw an animal. Part of that was our own doing, but the masses helped. Any time you are in a zoo for 4 hours and can count on 2 hands the number of animals one sees it's a bad sign.
Here's the breakdown:
4 gorillas
1 aurangatane(yes, I know it's spelled wrong)
2 elephants
1 hippo
3 rhinos
It was just too crowded to try anything else!
The new elephant exhibit just opened. There's a long zig-zag ramp leading up to this big lookout area to see several pens of elephants. I saw 2 on our way up and that was it. They were on their way back inside. When we got to the top Jessie Jane lost her hat to the wind. It's now part of the exhibit. Mine would've joined it, but my hair was in a bun and it couldn't really fly off!
So...needless to say.....the zoo trip was a bust. Heed my warning....... NEVER GO TO THE ZOO ON SPRING BREAK!!!!
That's my public service announcement for this month.
