We went to an Oklahoma City Redhawks games on Tuesday night and had a great time! They are a great team and have so many fun things incorporated into the game for the fans. We got to sit right behind home plate. As great as the team is, they got stomped the night we were there! So, in the eighth inning, Jakob had to put on his 'rally cap'...it didn't help!
Jakob also got to taste his first baseball park hotdog! Too bad it was 99 cent hotdog night and they were sad little weinies in thin, off-brand buns! He has eaten more quality processed meat at home! Gotta love it!
One of Jakob's favorite things to do at Nana and Poppy's house to 'water the fwoers.' He ends up watering himself and the porch more than the flowers, but it sure is fun to watch!
So, we went to the Oklahoma City Zoo on Wednesday morning. So much fun! We were a bit worried that Jakob would be terrified of the animals since my parents almost had to pull the car off of the road to remedy a common house fly situation. Jakob almost hyperventalated at the mere presence of a fly in the car. Lions and tigers and bears...oh no! The above picture, though, is just of him pitching a fit because he couldn't walk across the parking lot by himself. I know, we are horrible parents!
Once inside, we found some monkeys...living and bronzed. Can't you see the utter joy on Jakob's face? I swear this kid will not smile for a picture if you are hoping for a 'moment'! Oh, well...he really did have a great time seeing all of the animals. The zoo will be a repeat trip for us!
We, of course, chose to visit OKC during the hottest week in forever! It was over 102 degrees each of the days we were there and soared up to 106 the day of the baseball game. So, Jared and dad had to take a turn in the mister.
Now, we are REAL tigers...not just the Frenship kind! This was certainly Jared's favorite part of the day...I think Jakob thought it was pretty cool too!
Jakob and Poppy found something absolutely hilarious in the bamboo forest. I love this picture so much...it shows just what great grandparents Jakob has...all around. This is just one moment of millions that he has had with Nana, Poppy, BB, and Pa. What a tremendously blessed and funny kid!
Jakob and Daddy took a ride on a lion. When asked to sit with Daddy for a photo-op, Jakob insisted that he ride the tail.
We finished off the day 'skating' across all of the oceans of the world. Skating equaled all of the adults scooting our feet across the large tiled surface while Jakob ran around directing us. Dad was the best 'skater' according to Jakob. It really was one of my favorite days with our family, ever.

SUCH cute pictures! i like the tiger one...
What great memories. The OKC Zoo always has been great, but I must admit, we haven't been in a few years. I can just imagine how much your folks enjoyed having all of their family together!
