Central Park

We started our day off at the Central Park Zoo. We arrived right at 10:00am so we were just in time to see the two monkeys on the top of the clock strike the bell, and then see the animals play a musical tune! What a fun way to start off our day at the zoo!
Luke, Katie & John ready for a fun filled day in NYC!
The kids thought it was cool to visit the zoo that the movie Madagascar was based on, but were a bit disappointed that there was no Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, or Gloria the hippo. They did have penguins and lemurs, but they were not the ring-tailed lemurs like King Julien. The Snow Leopard was really fun to watch because she was moving all around in the exhibit...
The biggest event at the zoo was the Sea Lion Feeding...
The family watching the sea lions, except for Luke who took a minute to smile for Momma!


The Children's Zoo was full of things for the kids to climb on, which they LOVED!







Carriage Ride through Central Park...



FAO Schwarz Toy Store...playing on the BIG piano...




FAO Schwarz was one of the highlights of the trip to the Central Park area! There were so many neat toys!!! Katie spent a lot of time in the Barbie section, and the boys were pretty impressed with all the "boy toys" as well! The kids each got to pick out a treat in the giant candy section before we started our walk back to the car....which took a while because we stopped for ice cream, a hot dog, and pizza before we made it back to the car! All of that walking really works up an appetite! We had a wonderful day in NYC!
