Blogging slacker, life attacker
I know, I know.
I’ve been a huge blogging slacker lately. But that’s only because life has been crazy. I’m in the middle of a huge project at work that started gearing up the last week of June. Then, we went to Massachusetts and had a really fun family picnic the last weekend in June. Last week, was just a zoo with lots of work deadlines, personal obligations and a planned trip to the Bronx Zoo (and let’s not forget July 4th crammed right in the middle).
The zoo last Friday was really great (though I frantically checked e-mail on my PDA every 45 minutes). Fun? Not. Fortunately, I have a great group of coworkers who handled things so I could have a relatively work-free day with my family.
I do have more to write about, but it has to wait. For now, here are a few pictures from the zoo. And if you live anywhere near the Bronx, you should go. It’s well worth the trip.
The first thing we saw was a family of ordinary ducks. The kids loved them. All day, whether we were looking at giraffes or gorillas or a big, hungry tiger, all they wanted to know was, “can we go feed the ducks again?”
They both really liked comparing the size of their hand to that of a western lowland gorilla.
Gorilla. This photo is not as dramatic as it looks. She’s just yawning. ☺
In the Butterfly Garden. They both loved this.
Butterflies feeding on fruit. Why do I envision Peanut running around our yard from now on with a dish of watermelon?
This peacock was very curious and tame and came right up to the fence. Looking for food no doubt, but the girls loved it.
A very hungry tiger waiting for his 3:30 feeding. He was pacing inches from the glass and then finally sat down to wait a few feet away. Truly awesome.

The gorilla pic is a riot!! Looks like a fun day was had by all. I am sure you had much more fun there than at work :)
I haven't been to the Bronx Zoo in about 8 years. F & I used to go on the weekend when we were bored. When the boy is a little older we definitely plan to take him!
