We're still getting done all the things we want to do "one more time" before leaving Oklahoma (we never would have guessed when we moved here that the list would grow so long, but it really has been such a fantastic place to live!). You don't get a day much more perfect than today so we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and headed to the zoo. They have 2 new litters of lion cubs and they were (of course) Harrison's favorite. When he sees a big lion, he roars but when he saw these he just called them "kitty!" We watched them for a long time...they are adorable and then found some lion statues that were a little safer for Harrison to get up close and personal with! Then we headed to my favorite place and saw the ape house. I ended up having an up close and personal visit with one of the gorillas. We sat and stared at each other for a long time and then mom got a great shot where it looks like I'm making a monkey face - so fun!
Neither of the train rides were running today, so we settled for a ride (actually I convinced mom to take us twice) on the carousel. Harrison actually decided to hop on too!
Our "to do" list is quickly getting into high speed. The packers are coming in less than two weeks to get all our stuff ready for the moving truck! Mom is actually taking us up to South Dakota next weekend to drop us off for a week with Grandma (and Daddy and Grandpa too, but they'll be working, so Grandma is the lucky (?) one!) while mom comes back to deal with the movers. The good news is that means we get to celebrate Easter with Daddy after all...sure hope the Easter Bunny knows where to find us!
We're also looking for a few prayers because today our thoughts are with my uncle Anthony (Gams' son) who suffered a stroke last night. We're still waiting on a lot of information and updates, but would love it if everyone could please offer up lots of positive thoughts and well wishes for a speedy and full recovery!
