Bronx Zoo 2011

Jay, Sandra, the kids & I made our annual trip to the Bronx Zoo last week. It was a great day, as always. We did, however, pick one of the hottest days; fortunately, we had plenty of water and the kids had their spray H2O bottles that we bought last year (another HOT day).

Here's Sandra & the kids on route...


Joseph.....


Those spray water bottles were great!!!


HOT! HOT! HOT!


Kids using i-pod touches to take pictures....


Some cool animals.....


Love the lemurs in the Madagascar Exhibit


Elizabeth in the Children's Zoo
1st, she is in a heron nest


Next, she has climbed up a spider web..... such a cute spider!!!


Lunch - a very good thing!!! 



Giraffes - my favorite :)


Lions..... they have 3 cubs, but none were on view - but this was the very best view we have had of the adult male & female lions...


Tradition - the camel ride (though, alas, the kids are too big to ride with Ama) - This year's camel's name was Nicki (just like my little Elizabeth Nichole)


The monorail through "Asia" -
it's a great time to be out of the sun & off your feet on a hot NYC day!


At the butterfly garden, we have our traditional pictures of the kids as midge flies...


Zebra Butterflies....


 And bumblebees.....


That's all folks!!!
