The Bronx Zoo

We headed up to the Bronx to enjoy their "Boo in the Zoo, " but momma forgot costumes. (Not that Ryan will wear his AT ALL yet, but maybe on Halloween?!?) Regardless, this zoo is HUGE and we had fun walking around some of it. Well, we kind of had fun. It was another one of those days where Ryan wouldn't sit, or walk, only wanted me to hold him most of the time, and Andrew wanted to eat 24/7. They DID enjoy the ice cream though! And Mom, they have a Mouse House-it is really cool, we'll have to go when you visit.

Dad and Sherri come to visit!!

We had a great time with Dad and Sherri over the last few days. It rained a bit, so we didn't get out quite as much as normal, but I think everyone had a good time. The boys favorite thing of all was probably the air mattress that stayed up for the entire three days.

The first morning we went down to the WTC site. It was very surreal being there knowing that so many people lost their lives in that exact spot.

We made it out for a short walk around Central Park before the rain started. And, as our little Monkey See, Monkey Do little munchkin does, Andrew was getting his toes popped and he HAD to have his done too!

The next day we made it out to the American Natural History Museum. We have only been once but both boys really love it. They have a traveling exhibit now of butterflies and it was really cool. Ryan liked them as long as they didn't land ON him!

Belvedere Castle in CP

So glad you guys could visit! 

Scarlet Fever

Our poor big monkey got Scarlet Fever after the bout with strep. Needless to say, we are looking for healthier days:)

Little Critters

We found a cute little recipe in Andrew's High Five Magazine to make "Little Critters." The boys had fun making (and eating the chocolate chips since the raisins didn't work.) And of course, finishing them off with smoothies!
