Saturday Zoo Trip

Today was kind of one of those days. We had to go to a girl scout luncheon so that Alyna could perform a song/skit with her troop. The luncheon was at a church about a block away from our house, so I figured we would just walk. We normally walk out the back door, but because we were already kind of playing in the front, enjoying the sun, we just left out the front door. We went on and had a great time performing (it was really cute and I wish I had photos, but I don't because I was actually helping them sing, so yeah sorry about that). Anyhow, as we were walking back I got to thinking about the face that I had no keys with me. I figured Michael had locked the back door when he left early in the morning for a work seminar in Stillwater and since I had not left out the back door, it was most likely still locked. And then I remembered that I had shut the door closed in the front as I was leaving...ummmm locked and closed. So, I went and checked the doors and sure enough they were all locked. As I said, Michael was in Stillwater (over an hour away for those of you who do not know Oklahoma geography). So, I dragged all of our kids over to our neighbors, Lorrie and Jessica's, home. Thank goodness Jessica was home as I did not have a plan B (I had also left my phone in the house, thinking I would not need it ha!). So, I called my mom who has a spare, but she was also in Stillwater. I called another person who has a spare and they didn't awnser. I was beginning to wonder if we were going to go anywhere. Finally, Jessica was able to go get a key from my sister so that I could get in! By then I was 40 minutes late for my appointment to pick up my bulk food storage order. So, we hightailed it down there, picked it up (luckily the guy was still there!) and then we finally got on our way to the zoo!! We had a great time at the zoo, it was such an amazingly beautiful day! The kids were in long sleeves and perfectly comfortable. Here are some photos from the day (I know there are a ton, but I took a lot and I don't like the process of narrowing them down)...
