Penguins on Parade


There are all these crazy penguins around Tulsa, in front a businesses; I have always wanted to do a "scavenger hunt" to find all of them and have my picture taken by them. Well, Larry has always put it off, thinking I am crazy I'm sure. SO, when my crazy friend, Julie was coming to visit I knew she would join me in this adventure! We had so much fun and saw so much of the city. We drove around for hours looking for these penguins and posing for our pictures. We ended up finding 13 of them (not sure how many there really are). We started close to home and ended up downtown Tulsa... (where they were filming a movie, there were roads blocked off, wardrobe trailers, and cameras in the back of trucks, that was exciting too). So, the story behind the Penguins is this... a few years ago the zoo was celebrating their 75th anniversary and there was a new penguin exhibit going in. These penguins were a fundraiser to build that exhibit. Businesses sponsored the exhibit and in return they have these crazy penguins displayed outside their businesses. I know there are more penguins to be found...next time Julie comes to visit we might be out again! Until then....
