We had a multi-day, multi-city celebration of
Brodie's birthday this year as he turned 5. It started in Westville
with a lot of play time at MeMaw & PePaw's house. Then it was
off to Gore for his official party, followed by a day in Tulsa at the
Tulsa Zoo and Incredible Pizza. I was worn out by the end of all this
activity, but Brodie was ready for more!

PePaw & Brodie are big playmates. Here they play guitar and
harmonica together.
|
 |
| |
Next it's a game of dodge ball with the giant squishy ball |
| |
|
 |
 |
| PePaw is granted permission to wear the hat of awsomeness, but just
for a few minutes. |
Wearing one of the many great shirts that Desirae makes for her boy |

Setting up for an epic battle that ranges all over the entire living room

You can barely see Brodie in the distance, that's how far the battlefield
stretches.

Brodie enjoying the elephant play room
|
Think your job is bad? Next time remember this poor fella.
He is giving an elephant a very manual enema. Yes folks, he
has to reach in up to his shoulder to drag the stuff out.
Whew! |

Beautiful Bald Eagle in the bird area

have his photo taken. |

Checking out the penguins
|
Brodie loves to drive the boat and give us all a scare
|
|
 |
Don't worry, it's not an upset stomach - he's making boat sounds for all
he's worth
|
The adults enjoyed the seal show, but Brodie just wanted to ride the
train.

| Monkeys hanging out |
Here comes trouble. He was the only young guy and could never
understand why no
one wanted to play with him. He sure tried to get them interested
though. |
| |
|
 |
Brodie always enjoys spinning the huge stone globe near the entrance.
|
| Here the baby gives up on the boring old monkeys, choosing instead to sit in
a sulk. |

|
 |
Incredible Pizza, here we come.
|
| Have souvenirs, will travel. He is ready for the next adventure. |

 |
| Beating me soundly in a go-cart race.
He sure loved it when I'd get close though! |
| |
|
 |
 |
| |
The video games were the best part. He got SO into them. He
really thought he
was killing dinosaurs. It was priceless. |
