Critters & Cousins

We went to Central Park Zoo over the Thanksgiving holidays and saw the (relatively) new snow leopards. Mikro loved it, but cheerfully announced that "Even better than the zoo was getting to see my cousins!" with whom we had dinner after the zoo trip.

Leap Day at the Central Park Zoo

The Zoo had a special frog program for Leap Year today, with frog lectures and crafts.





Highlights of our visit: The penguins were amazingly interactive; Mikro playing with a six year old girl at the bats exhibit; Mikro conquering his fear of the big spiderweb climb net.





















After the zoo, we enjoyed Central Park's carousel, the 59th Street pond, wandering the park, and the Dairy and Gift Shop, where Mikro got some books on NYC wildlife, and some bug and lizard related toys.
