This morning, Grace and I went to the Bronx Zoo with Max, Jonathan and Chrissie and Ayla, Ben and Becky. It was an awesome day.
We saw some Bison, Giraffes and Ostriches, and then we went to the Dora & Diego 4-D Movie. It was 8 spectacular minutes of 3-D film. The fourth dimension included aromas (banana) and sensations (water, vacuum, being on an airplane). Grace and I were totally mesmorized. After the film, we visited the Mouse House, grabbed lunch abd hit the Children's Zoo, which had so much to see, touch, climb and feel. Something that definitely struck Grace was the rooster, which was cockadoodledoing a lot. She and Max spent a lot of time feeding the goats (dumping/dropping food in their pen). When the two of them are together, they forget they're with anyone else; I can barely take the cuteness.
After that, we rode on the Bug Carousel, another huge hit. Then we walked all the way to "Asia" to take Camel Rides and try out the monorail, where we saw everything from elephants, rhinos, tigers and more. What a day! Everyone had so much fun, and behavior was good all around.
When we got home, Nate was happy as could be. He's understanding some words now: his name, our names, jump, kick and run. Here is some video.

What an amazing day! Leslie, your energy is other-worldly. I have no idea how you pack so much in with two children, but it's totally impressive. Lately, I've been sleeping for 2 hours while the kids nap. Sad!
P.S. I've never heard of a 4-D movie before, but it sounds awesome. Going to research now...
Looks like fun as usual! Isn't it just amazing how well behaved a child can be when their siblings are not around and they have Mommy's full attention? I love 'em together but I also love some special one-on-one time.
Love the 3-D Shades!
