Zoo Trip

Menschi is loving New York City.Counting the taxis and observing all the other cool vehicles is endless fun. He especially enjoyed taking a ride on a police school bus to the Central Park Zoo (Ronald McDonald House Trip). The zoo was open after hours just to accommodate this special excursion(which in the end turned out to be only 7 kids). On arrival, we were greeted by zoo personnel and a paparazzi that would film and photograph our entire experience (PR opportunity). We had a private tour -- menschi even got to throw a fish to the seals!! They had a cute puppet show featuring a frog named "Pond"."My name's James pond"( who was a "double agent" b/c he used both land and water ). Seeing the rain forest exhibit at night was awesome! It got dark pretty quickly, so unfortunately, not too many picture opptys. But, just as "the sun was too tired to stay up in the sky" it went down" (my latest response to Menschi's incessant "whys"). Menschi was equally sleepy and collapsed as soon as we got back to RMH.
