Today we decided to venture into Manhattan to visit the Central Park Zoo. Quite the ambitious undertaking considering we traveled by subway with Rileigh. Imagine trying to contain a small nuclear explosion in your arms. Although she seemed afraid of the noisy train at first, she was soon at home and making friends with the muggers, psychopaths, homeless, and tourists on the subway. Shy she is not.
The Central Park Zoo is not very big at all- as a matter of fact I was surprised how small it was. But at only 8 dollars to get in, it was not a bad deal at all. It works out just fine since they happen to have a children's zoo and her attention span doesn't do so well with a bigger place.
As is usually the case with most kids, the petting zoo was her favorite part.
Also enjoyed were a pair of polar bears:
and one seriously LARGE rabbit:
All in all, a pretty decent way to spend a fall day in New York.
Next week we are headed to Delran, NJ (GO BEARS) where it will be homecoming weekend for Meagan and Kaitlyn. A full weekend's worth of festivities are planned including a parade and football game. Stay Tuned!

Careful with the subway comments. I seem to remember John Rocker getting lambasted for similar descriptions.

John Rocker did not appear to be exhibiting a sense of humor. Vince, well at least he tries to have a sense of humor. I hear he's making progress. Next week, knock-knock jokes. :-)
'... is not very big at all- as a matter of fact I was surprised how small it was.'
Well, everything shrinks with age ---- I was there in '69 and it was HUGE :-)
'I seem to remember John Rocker getting lambasted for similar descriptions.'
Free speech my ass --- we are free to say anything that we want as long as it begins with 'Obama is great' and ends with 'all praise be to Allah'.
Get your prayer rugs now, before demand causes the prices to soar :)
