Boo at the Bronx Zoo

Boo at the Zoo was "spooktacular." It was a "boo-tiful" Autumn day, and the temperature was in the high 60's. We were happy to have Aunt Dana and Uncle Vito accompany us! We packed in as much sightseeing and as many activities that we could in a 5 hour timespan. Grace loved the giraffes, "Happy" the elephant, and the Butterfly Garden, which was "just like the one in Fancy Nancy: Bonjour Butterfly." Andrew loved the "Congo Gorilla Forest," lemurs in the Madagascar Exhibit, and Children's Zoo. Kate loved watching the Sea Lions and Dora & Diego 4-D Adventure. We had such a great time on the Bug Carousel and Wild Asia Monorail. It was a fun-filled day, and the Bronx Zoo was decorated nicely for Halloween. We enjoyed seeing many children in full costume, and we were amazed by the pumpkin carvers. Grace and Andrew checked out the Hay Maze, and sweetened their visit at the Treat Stations throughout the park. It was a memorable day! I love spending quality time with our little sweethearts!
The sea lions welcomed us with their very loud barks!

Lemurs
They had so much fun playing in the Children's Zoo.  Can you spot 3 of the cutest little prairie dogs and 1 pretty peacock?
They loved this slide! Mommy even had a go:-)
Fox Ears
The Bug Carousel was quite creepy:-)
Andrew informed us that "Butterflies stick out their tongues."
Prepping for the 4-D Experience!
Giraffes are Grace's favorite animals!

While we were on the monorail, we passed the Bronx River, which was beautifully framed with Fall foliage.
