My birthday

On the advice of our friend Val, we decided to visit Arkansas this weekend. We took the boys over to the Gentry, AR Wild Wilderness Animal Park. It was a lot of fun. Val blogged about it a week or so ago when she took her girls there and had a great time. We decided we'd go for the day for my birthday on Sunday. It is only about 85 miles from Tulsa, so we made a day of it.

Brice had so much fun. He got to sit on the console in the front seat so that he could see all the animals as we drove through and he even sat on his dad's lap for a little bit and drove. The petting area at the park is huge and Brice chased turkeys, goats, pigs and even kangaroos. Of course, you are supposed to approach the animals calmly and slowly but they made those rules before they met Brice. Calmly and slowly is not in his vocabulary. He went up to the largest kangaroo and patted him right on the nose. All the other kangaroos had pretty much cleared the area when they saw him coming.

It was a fun day and of course after we finished at the zoo we headed to a Mexican restaurant in Springdale and filled our bellies. It was a great birthday!
