D - Little River Zoo

After an incredibly boring week last week of doing nothing but go to the Y every morning and stay in the house all afternoon, I decided we really needed an outing. So Friday morning we headed down to Norman with Mary and Joel and explored the Little River Zoo. This was a first for us, and I was very impressed. It is much more hands-on than the OKC zoo and just a totally different experience. Obviously there aren't as many animals, but what they do have is a lot of fun.

Here they are petting a ferret...


Feeding the goats....


Throwing bread to the kangaroos (that we were in the cage with)...


Petting a porcupine....



And our favorite part of all, talking with these 2 funny monkeys. It sort of happened by accident as we were leaving. We walked past these guys' cage and I talked to the one on the left and asked her if her head was itchy. She started talking to us. Then the guy on the right came over and talked with us too. We liked him because he sucked his thumb. Anyhow, one of the zookeepers came over and gave them a treat so they would show us some of their tricks. I just love monkeys - they are so funny! They actually had several different varieties and they were all fun to watch.



So to sum it up, go to the Little River Zoo! It's a great time.
