B. Zoo Baby

Caleb and I had a chance to get away for a nice day together at the Bronx Zoo. The weather was mild, the company was sweet and the day was nothing short of perfect. The animals were all very cooperating and posed for some pictures. The peacocks were looking for their peahens and so were eager to show their tail feathers.
Caleb was like a kid in a candy store when we came to the Children's Zoo: running into the gopher holes, climbing up the spider web, sliding down the tree slide and feeding the animals. It made me smile to see him smile and I was happy and sad at the same time. It was nice to be just the two of us because that is such a rarity these days but it was also sad not be able to share his excitement with others.
The sea lions were happy to see us and let us know by letting out some nice, loud noises. Caleb wanted to ride on the camels but the line was soooo long (at least that is what I told him :) The Bronx Zoo has a new playground across from the giraffes so while Caleb was climbing up some apparatus' I was able to catch a shot of a baby giraffe. We plan to make this trip a regular thing now that we have our passes. Anytime anyone would like to come along, please know that you are always welcome.

*pictures to come...blogger is being snarky about me adding them*
