A Day at the Bronx Zoo
I took the kids to the Bronx Zoo today. We had a great time. My absolute favorite spot was The Butterfly Garden. Its a large indoor flower garden with thousands of butterflies flying around. Not your normal everyday butterflies (those are there too) but butterflies in every shape, size and color. The flowers were gorgeous and they had soothing classical music playing. It was perfect after traipsing around all day looking at gorillas, tigers, camels, giraffes(yay!)... and spiders (not yay).
The one above had a 4 inch wingspan
This one was even larger!
Don't let the calm, cool exterior fool you. He would have eaten us in a minute if given the chance.
Eric thought he was pretty funny pretending he was being carried away as food.

The kids got the chance to ride the camels. Pretty cool.
