ZOO ZANIA!!

What an AMAZING day did we have yesterday! The Oklahoma City Zoo was the perfect place to celebrate my Big 18th birthday. It was so much fun and I couldn't wait to see all the different and interesting animals that was at this zoo. I have been to zoo's before but have never seen animals that were at this zoo! The first stop on our zoo day was to go see the baby snow leopards. But on the way there we saw some animals too. Pigmy hippoes and rhinoes to be exact.
We went along some trails through the bamboo and came to a lake since we were there we just had to feed the ducks and geese! Finally we came to what we have been searching for, THE SNOW LEOPARDS!!! It was soooo cute! But we had to press on if we were going to see the rest of the zoo. We started down another trail hoping we would end up where we wanted to. On this bamboo trail we were right by a tiger enclosure so we felt like we were in the Jungle hiding from the tiger hoping that it doesn't get us. On a side note they had some metal sculptures all over the place and since we were at the Big Cats we took a picture with the Big Cat Sculpture.Our next destination was the swan paddle boats and the animal show. Of course we saw some other fascinating animals on the way there!A Red Panda(awesome),Meerkats(hilarious and cute), and an Ant-Eater(very interesting). We finally arrived at the Swan boats and our boats name was Carmikle! We set off on our water adventure just Carmikle, me, kev, and preston. Konner didn't get on because he was feeling sick. It was now time for the Animal Show. I was SO EXCITED! We saw some talking birds that were HILARIOUS! They would dance and do animal sounds and one of the birds could even say and boy and a girl "Hello" it was so funny!!! Then the Mystery show started and the main character was a sea lion called "Double O Sea Lion" He could cover his eyes with his fin, clap, poke his head through a window it was SO FUNNY! I loved the show it was one of my favorites there!


We saw many other animals that I have never seen before they fascinated us all!
I had to see some monkeys before we left and they were cool! They would do things that you never thought they would. They would look through the window at all the people and put there hand up so they could make a shadow to see through the window they were so awesome and they are SO SMART! It was a FANTASTIC day at the zoo and we all didn't want to leave. That was a great Birthday celebration,

we all enjoyed it TONS!
