lions and tigers and bears ... oh my!



So now it's time for catch up. A few weeks ... actually more like a month ago, Jason and I attended the Bronx Zoo. KPMG (the accounting firm where I work) hosts an annual firm family day, and this year it was at the zoo. We saw everything from the polar bears, to the gorilla's but I have to say my least favorite was the bat caves. I was expecting to walk in and see a few bats and walk out, but no, there were several different bats from all different parts of the world screeching and flying around. It was definitely the creepiest part of the zoo. All in all it was a great day. The weather was perfect and the animals were playful. Our favorite of course was the gorilla's playing hide-and-go-seek with each other and the polar bear when he dove into the cold water to take a swim. I would highly recommend it to all of you New Yorkers who are looking for a fun filled day in the city, and for all of you from Utah, it puts Hogle Zoo to shame.

The Bronx Zoo is awesome... the gorilla world is definitely worth the extra money if you have to pay for it!! I am alwats disappointed with the penguin exhibit. I would say the Seattle Zoo puts the Bronx zoo to shame in that area!

I think Zoo days are some of the best days! It looks like you had loads of fun...Tom made me watch a Discovery shoe on Bats, turns out we really need them...that doesn't mean I have to like them!

I would love to take Landon, but when I went by there the line was out of control! I don't know how he'd feel about the bats though. :)
