We went to the Tulsa Zoo with Jake's cousins from Illinois, and a fun time was had by all! Zebras and turtles and bears, oh my! (Yeah, I had to say it...)

Welcome!

Look, a starfish!

Naaaaked!

Rock climbing

Checking out some bugs

Our zoo group

Ian and Tina

Caw caw!

Black bear -- it's the little ball of fur at the bottom right. It was a lot bigger than it looks, though!

The boys watching the bears

Crocodile!

Can we pet him?

Trying to find the animals among the plants

Birds getting some sun

Come ON, Dada!

Like father, like son

Little monkeys!

Can you spot the monkey?

Oh, there he is!

Tyler stealing Ian's stroller because his parents weren't smart enough to bring one

Sleepy rhinos

Can we pet them?

Hmmm, I wonder what's in this building?

The boys were more impressed with the statue than the real meerkats

Sea lion going for a swim

And sea lion napping in the sun

Flamingos!

Look, Dad, pink birds!

Fish!

Hello, Mr. Turtle!

Ssssnake!

It's Dory and Gill!

Hello Gill!

Finding Nemo

Look, Tyler, there he is!

Oohhhh, another bear!

We definitely don't want to pet him.

Walking tall

Dads and boys

Ostrich!

Huge turtles

Not a real turtle, but the boys didn't seem to notice

Cheeeese!

Cantrells in black and white

We finally found the elephants!

Hello elephants!

Tyler says, "I need to ride them!"

Making elephant noises

Indoor elephant viewing

We brought animal crackers to the zoo -- is that legal?

Zoo train depot

Waiting for the train and checking out pictures from the day

Jake, Tyler, Ian, Tina

Getting a little delirious

Finally made it on the train

Wow, a family picture that's NOT self-taken -- thanks Tracy!

We get to see all the animals again?!

Zebras!

A good ending to a great day

And a good nap after a great day!
