Just in case you didn’t follow the link earlier.. everything in the show is made “of natural materials such as bark, twigs, stems, fruits, seeds, and pine cones”.

Is it wrong to boo a replica?

The other weekend, after a run and while Kate was at Yoga, Noah squeezed in a quick trip to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum.

Babies.

Stick bugs.

Waiting on that bus, trying to get some lunch.

Zoo life

Central Park Zoo.

We need to make new signs. Less important are the “don’t tap on glass” signs, they need to be replaced with “don’t blind the animals with the flashlight on your cell phone”.

Faux snow leopard scat.

 

No sign telling me what kind of birds these are.

Horsing around… piggy back rides… cornballs…

Penguins.

Brightness.

Boys out, looking at birds

Boys day out.

I thought we might go to the flea.. I thought we might check out a museum.. nope. Prospect Park Zoo it was. At least they had a few new animals. These hornbills were cool.

Subtle sponsorship deal?

Dingo!

The trip didn’t end well.

A few hours later and all was forgotten. Best buds again.
