Family vacation!

Every year we go to Day Out with Thomas because the boys love it so much. This year we decided to make a weekend out of it and enjoy a few other attractions in Oklahoma City. Our first stop was the Oklahoma City Zoo.

Gwydion and Papa had to check out the map. This place is HUGE! We spent all day here and never left the central area of the zoo. We did ride the tram around at closing time though, and we got a little better idea of just how great it is.

What, this isn't the playground?

Ah, the playground at last!
Gwydion shows just how much he's grown by deftly climbing the pole.

Of course, Gavin had to check out the playground too.

Does anyone remember the Mold-A-Rama machines? They were a big hit when I was little and apparently they still are.

Gavin loves the Mold-A-Rama animals!

Little dino fans pose for a pic.

Wow Mom, we're riding an elephant.

The baby rhino was too hot to ride.

But the lions weren't!

Finally, the Oklahoma Railway Museum!

Gavin spies one of his favorite trains.

Gavin is in little boy heaven- train tables everywhere!

Time for the train ride! Gwydion and Papa pick a good seat in the caboose.

Gavin and Mama are excited!

Gavin and Dad wait in line to see Thomas up close.

I love my little guy!

Gwydion gets really close!


We walk along the track while waiting for Gwydion.

After lunch we went to the Oklahoma Science Museum.

Gwydion found his favorite part- the drum machine!

While Gavin enjoyed painting on the interactive monitor.

Unfortunately, this is where my camera ran out of batteries. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Science Museum but it is sadly undocumented. The boys had a great time though, and slept all the way home!
