Trip to Central Park Zoo

We went down to visit Gaelen this weekend. It was raining the whole time. We still went to Central Park Zoo. The polar bear put on quite a show for the few of us visiting the zoo that day. We'll definitely come back here, but when it's nicer out. The little Children's Zoo had some fun climbing structures Owen will love when he's older. We skipped the carousel, maybe next time.

Checking out the polar bear:







Then we went around the corner and saw this!



The polar bear was leaning against the rocks scratching its back, with its paws on the window. Of course we got more pictures:







We also checked out the penguins and a few other animals:





Also, a quick stop at the ferris wheel at Toys'R'Us. Luckily he isn't old enough to realize he was in a Barbie car, but he did look longingly at the Little People bus in front of us.





It stopped raining that night and Gaelen took us for a long walk to get Vietnamese sandwiches only to find the place closed. We got a quick Mexican dinner instead. There was an awesome view though of Manhattan from Sunset Park on the way, even with the clouds. Saturday was less rainy so we went over to Battery Park and also took the Staten Island ferry before meeting up with Gaelen and getting some Slovakian food (better than the Mexican food the night before).
