Bronx Zoo

It's truly amazing that this beautiful place exists ~ right in the middle of the Bronx.  It was one of the prettiest places I have ever been.

Entrance into the zoo.

Nathan saw this desert friend and they instantly bonded.

It was such a pretty day that Shannon and I just spread a blanket out on the grass and let the kids explore.

The Giraffes

Why do my kids always shut their eyes or look the other way when I take pictures with them?

We took shelter from another afternoon rainstorm in the Gorilla Sanctuary.

Sisters

Gracie, singin in the rain!

After the rainstorm Nate and Gracie jumped in every puddle we passed.

Green Leaves... we don't see much of these back home.
