The Elephants are Back in Town

We love the OKC Zoo and it's one of the best in the nation. Our two female elephants Asha and Chandra have been away in Tulsa for two years on a date with "Snuffy" the male elephant while their new home was being built here. They finally came home and their new home was just completed. One of them is due to have a baby in May so everyone is very excited. They had a special grand opening for vip members and we got to go see it before everyone else. It was really cold so it was kind of miserable but they fed us and had the elephants do some tricks for us. The new habitat for them is really impressive and we hope to go back and see more of it when its warmer A flock of birds were flying around in the trees and Jensen got pooped on ha ha! Me being the great mom that I am didn't clean him off first but took at picture instead.

This is the new elephant mascot named Penny. Everyone voted on that name because the original elephant at the zoo was purchased with pennies donated by school children in the 30's.
