Jennie (Sarah's sister), Quinn (Jennie's husband), and Delcie (their almost 2-year old daughter) came out to visit us between Christmas and New Year's. The faithful readers of our blog know that whenever someone comes to visit us, we take a trip to the Oklahoma City Zoo together.
The first stop on the zoo trip was to visit the lorikeets and feed them some sweet, sweet nectar.
From there, it was off to the petting zoo with the friendly goats.
(Although some of the goats looked a little scared with toddlers nearby.)
There were many different cats that were out and active.
And others that were out, but not as active.
One of the gorillas wasn't too impressed with the visitors, so he turned his back on us and gave us a show.
The elk showed us that to be happy, all a male needs is a ball.
Last, but certainly not least, were the baby animals at the zoo.
First was the baby rhino (I've also included a picture from a few months ago when Sarah went to the zoo with some friends where the mom and baby rhino had been rolling around in the red dirt.)

Then the baby elephant, born only a few days before we were there.
Finally, the baby Delcie, who we were just trying to contain.
We had heard from multiple people that the science museum was really fun, so we decided to get an annual pass for Christmas. Turns out, those people were right. The science museum was a lot of fun.
Sarah even found her favorite room in the museum. The museum has something for everyone.
Other highlights of their visit included going to the park, watercolor painting, and playing lots of games. Delcie didn't like leaving the park (even though it was below freezing with a nice cold wind blowing) and cried all the way home. Some parents, concerned about her health and all that.
We also visited the Oklahoma City Memorial, which was lit up because it was later in the evening. Visiting this memorial reminds me of how we can always remember the good and forward move despite any challenges we may face.
