Another day on the road. This one started from Tulsa which is a resting point between toll roads in Oklahoma. After an hour or so, we stopped in Oklahoma City to visit the zoo.
My beautiful momma knows the zoo keeper for the apes and so we were given a private, all-access tour. We learned a lot of things including that giraffes love pumpkins and will drop them on ostriches who get too close! Those wily giraffes! To be safe, we kept orange clad JC far away from the fence whose rotund appearence the giraffes might find confusing!
After our trip to the zoo it was back on the toll roads. Three hours later we all breathed in a freer (toll-free) road system. It was that of Texas!
The part of Texas that we drove through on the way to Amarillo has little to offer the world besides stunning views of wind-generated power in action. Amarillo, on the other hand, has this...
We all gave it a go to see who could earn the free meal. Since JC and I were under eight, we could work together. Who ended up earning the free meal? Those who were sitting on the winner's rocker!
Good job mom! The manager had no idea she was eating for two! We finished the night at the hotel pool before turning in for a long October nap. Three down, one to go before New Mexico!

I am confident that I could eat a 72 oz. steak in on sitting. That's child'd play, in my stomach's opinion.
in, "one" sitting is what I meant to say...
Child's play??? You win! It grossed me out just looking at it!
I just heard about your move! Love the cross country play by play as well. GOOD LUCK!
