When there was still snow on the ground from this month's insane-o twin blizzards, my son and his best pal convinced their moms it'd be a good idea to check out what's new at Tulsa Zoo. 

Since admission was buy one, get one thanks to the Zoo's Snow Leopard Days promotion, and since we're always down for girl talk over some stroller time, they didn't have to try very hard.

Things we managed to do during a three-hour trip to Tulsa Zoo during Snow Leopard Days:
<ul>
	<li>Stomp around (and slip) in the snow</li>
	<li>Chase and tantalize geese (of which I am desperately afraid - I blame an unfortunate childhood goose incident)</li>
	<li>See a giant tortoise poop in a water tank</li>
	<li>Bump our heads and elbows in a cave</li>
	<li>Breastfeed in public (yeah!)</li>
	<li>Eat a warm lunch at <a href="http://www.tulsazoo.org/Visit/Amenities/">the Macaw Landing Grille</a></li>
	<li>Attempt to scale the fence around the elephant yard</li>
	<li>Note the differences in the herbivores' salad lunches</li>
	<li>Firmed and toning our glutes (at least, the one of us who was wearing those cool SimplyTone shoes was)</li>
	<li>Explain how a snake works</li>
	<li>Chase a quail</li>
</ul>

See? Told you. 

While there's lots of construction and work going on at the Zoo right now (to prepare for the spring season, I assume, when the Zoo starts to see some serious visitor volume), we still had a good time, and right now you can't beat the price.  

But today's the last day of this promotion. The good news? There's still time. The Zoo doesn't close until 5 p.m., so if you're looking for something to do after nap time today, a trip to Mohawk Park is what I'd recommend. 

Just promise me you'll watch out for the geese.
