Every year The Bronx Zoo has Halloween themed activities for the month of October called “Boo at the Zoo.”  We went last year with Jack and it was a lot of fun.  This year we continued the tradition and made our way the whole ten minutes to the zoo.

In order to keep his real costume clean, we put Jack in his Fireman’s uniform.  We didn’t want to ruin Halloween with a dirty costume.  We had a really great time.  Jack saw a whole bunch of animals.  We went to the Tiger exhibit and all Jack cared about were the fish that are in the swimming hole.  Four giant, majestic tigers and Jack is standing in front of the aquarium telling me that the big black fish looks, “just like Nemo!”

The polar bear was very cool.  It was just hanging out about 25 feet from the railing.  We also saw some deer, a snow leopard, giraffes and butterflies.  We also got a chance to see the Dora and Diego 4D Experience.  I think they went a little overboard with the water as we were visibly wet when the movie was over.

Got some great pictures with the new camera.  I’m starting to figure a few things out, but I still have a lot to go.  We had a great time and we can’t wait to do it again next year.

Jack’s Trip to the Zoo

Well, we were supposed to go to Boston this weekend, but Jen got sick and we ended up staying home.  One of the things we were supposed to was go to the Zoo with Mike and Nicole.  Now, I may be biased, but part of me did not want Jack’s first zoo to be some Zoo in MA.  His first zoo should be The Bronx Zoo!

We didn’t make it to Boston, but we still did want to go to the zoo.  So, we packed up our things and took Jack to The Bronx Zoo.

He was a little tired, from not taking a nap, and the animals were not being very cooperative, but all in all I think he had fun.  Can’t wait to do it next year when he is a little older.
