Out to the Zoo

My wife took off Friday so we could have a full four day weekend.  We took the opportunity to go to the Oklahoma City Zoo for the first time in years.  I must say we had a very good time and we really needed it.  the weather was perfect and Sunday and I had some good quality time together.  In the above photo we were fortunate enough to catch two grizzly bears playing in the water.  There was quite a crowd watching them and I thought this was a golden opportunity to use my new camera.

In the photo above we were enjoying the aquatic center.  We could not have asked for a better morning in mid October.  The crowds were not too bad and it was not too hot or cold.  This was one of the most relaxing times we have had in many years with just the two of us.

Are there any Firefox fans out there?  This red panda is often called Firefox so I had to get this photo as I am posting this using the Firefox browser.  I sure hope to have more opportunities to spend with my wife doing things like this.  Soon I will be going to San Antonio again for my work and my wife is going with me.  It is so nice that she is able to go with me and take off work.  She has so much use or lose leave that she is able to come on the trip as well.  It looks as though hurricane Norbert is about to move in and give us some rain over the next few days.  We could use some rain as we have not had any rain since the last hurricane.  This week is going to be a short one but I have a lot to do with finishing up my school work and getting ready to go to San Antonio.  I hope to get some photos when I am down there next week.  Just click on the above photos and you can see the entire collection.
