The Coolest Zoo, Ever!

While the girls were here, earlier in the

month we went to 

The Garold Wayne Zoo

in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

 Brilyn, Asher and Weston went, too!

 This is a very hands-on zoo!

We all got to play with a baby taliger!

(half tiger and half liger {lion-tiger mix})

 The Taliger's name was Alisa and it

loved Olivia!

It actually, loved Olivia's frilly dress.

It would chase her and bite it and the

wildlife attendant would often have to

pull it away. The cub was gentle andwas never

really a threat to Olivia - only her dress.

 I played with the Taliger, too, but for 

the most part, I was happy to take pictures

and let the kids play. After all,

what kid can say they've actually played

with a baby taliger?

 Asher & the Taliger

 Weston & the Taliger

 The taliger, Alisa, by herself!

Grace & the taliger.

Grace probably enjoyed this as much

as anyone. I think she played with the

little cub the most. 

And I'll share more about this

hands on zoo later.

There is just too much to share

in only one post.

Our Little Cowboy

Some boys seem to be

born with their boots on!

They're 100% Cowboy!

And, I think our Weston might 

just be one of them.

Here he is in his Daddy's saddle

with a row of boots just waiting

to be filled.

His boots, Daddy's boots 

and Momma's boots, too.

Isn't he the cutest little cowboy, ever?

Weston

 Weston is an amazingly

alert little guy.

He wants to know what's going

on around him all the time,

so he is not much of a sleeper.

So, he did not sleep for our 

photo shoot!

I did happen to get one image

of him where he LOOKS like

he is sleeping, though.

Isn't that sweet?

The trick is to shoot FAST!

Then, take two pictures.

When the lights flash for the first photo

he will close his eyes for a split 

second, giving you a chance

to take a second shot!

And don't worry..... he was perfectly

safe when we took these

photos. His Momma was right there

spotting him for safety. 

Now.... isn't he just about the cutest

little cowboy you've ever seen?
