The zoo is 1 of our fav. places too -We went just a couple of weekends ago -Only saw 1 little patch of snow then -But, yes did see some construction -Can't seem to escape that here in Tulsa -Eh?! ;) A few times ago that we went- we saw an up close personal view of an elephant pooping and peeing -just imagine the amounts of that -Whoa! It was like a river of pee -just sayin ;)
