Went to the zoo and got chase about 3 blocks by the angriest one of these:
Yes. A peacock. This thing chased us through the prairie dogs:
Past the donkey:
Past the baby goat thing:
Past the Ox:
All the way through the playground area and finally stopped chasing us here:
Those of you familiar with the the zoo here, that's quite a way to be chased by a zombie peacock. I did learn that I WILL actually launch my poor children at rabid birds chasing me (ok, like there really was any question) and that they should probably learn to run faster without getting distracted by prairie dogs, goats, ox and the like if they plan on surviving an actual zombie apocalypse.
The zoo has also recently completed their sea lion exhibit. It's really pretty cool! It's got an under ground tunnel that you can watch the two sea lions in the water swimming.
Last stop of the Zoo trip was this fellow:
After the zoo we went home to cool off (oh my 100 degrees is WAY to hot!) and got ready to go swimming!
Then, it was time for presentation time at the library! I must admit they were a little disappointed about this one. It was on Mars and was aimed at kids 4-10, but only contained material that can be found in any simple book. The kids were really wanting more in depth science-y stuff - which this did not contain.
But, they made gak at the end and gave them a Popsicle which apparently makes everything better somehow.
Overall? A very busy, but successful day. Both kids are exhausted which makes putting them in their bed SUPER easy (bwahahahah!) and hopefully makes it so they don't feel like they are "missing" anything by not having a *real* summer vacation.
Tomorrow we have Big BIg BIG plans. They don't know though. *giggle* Tomorrow we're going to attempt the water park in Muskogee. Well, in theory anyhow. :)

Yeah I have discovered that public schools don't even begin teaching science until 3rd grade... so if your kids can talk intelligently about the water cycle or the planets or ANYTHING scientific before that age, they're way ahead of their peers. It's sad, really... but I'm glad yours had a good time! And isn't the sea lion place awesome??
