Our field trip this week was to the Bronx Zoo. I don't think we saw even a quarter of the zoo, but Duncan was thrilled to see real zebras, baby gorillas ("what those babies doing, Mama?"), flamingos, and elephants. Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the gorilla exhibit, which was his favorite, because I was carrying Duncan, having parked the stroller outside. The monorail ride was great fun. I don't recommend going on a Wednesday; it's "Donation Day," which means that you can pay whatever you want for general admission (though you still have to pay for all the extra exhibits, such as the gorillas and the monorail). It also means that the zoo is absolutely packed to capacity with all varieties of people, sort of an exhibit unto themselves. Exiting the zoo was a challenge, and we hit every slow moving family who wanted to stop and examine the ants on the sidewalk. Nevertheless, we returned just in time for dinner. We're all exhausted, but it's the good kind of exhausted, when you have been WOWED to capacity.
