Ok, so true story here.

Saturday we went to the zoo (again...if you would facebook me, you would know that). Since it was a lovely day and we had been cooped up, it made sense. That's right. Massive ice storm and two days later - 70 degrees!

Welcome to Oklahoma.

At the end of our zoo trip, we stopped by to see the lions one last time. It was just the four us, standing there looking at the lions. If you've ever been to the OKC zoo, you know there is a huge hill in the middle of the lion exhibit (and if you haven't been...well then you should). The three lions were standing on top of that hill playing when a man with a seeing eye dog walked up next to us. One of the lions (lionesses?) saw the dog and made a B-LINE down the hill and was stalking the dog. At this point, other people see what is going on and are starting to gather around the glass. But we are right next to the glass when the lion (again...lioness? someone help me here) starts pacing back and forth. All the sudden she stops, stares at my son (who had his nose pressed against the glass...of course) and then she bares her teeth, roars and takes a swipe at his head. Thank goodness for the six inches of plexi. It definitely scared the poo out of Cason though.

I'm considering hiring her to finish potty training Cason.
