one of my very favorite things to do with huck is go to the central park zoo. it may not be very big, and there may not be a whole lot of animals to look at, but there is something so charming about that zoo that gets me every time. it's like the little zoo that could.
last week hen and i decided we'd become patrons of the wildlife. i think that sounds right fancy! we walked down, waited on a very long line, and bought ourselves an annual pass to all of the city zoos. after all, the penguin room is climate controlled (not to mention stinky!) and it is going to be a long summer (knock on wood!). that pass was our first real family-outing type purchase, and i am not kidding, when i paid and they handed me henry's free t-shirt, i had one of those moments where i was suddenly a real mom.
a few photos from our holbrook 2012 inaugural mission to the zoo.
(warning, they're from last week when i REALLY sucked at my manual settings)
the little petting zoo (is really little)
and a shot from our walk home:
it's gonna be a real fine spring i'd say!
