desi&lexi -- Central Park Zoo

Kendra and Lexi Cope showed us a great time on Tuesday! I was feeling up to a big excursion so I told Kendra to plan something for us to do together this week - she's always doing fun things downtown. The weather was perfect, in the 50s, nice sunshine and Des and I were so ready to get out&about! Des immediately reached for Lexi's hand, once they both were set free from their strollers, and walked to the Rain Forest exhibit hand-in-hand. Kendra just about died!

Curiously Des wasn't so interested in the animals as he was the space -- where the doors lead, what to climb on, etc. He also did a lot more people watching than animal. We had lunch with the sealions and they put on this great show! But Des hardly watched as he was more interested in navigating the steps that encircled the tank. Once we got to the childrens zoo area, where you can pet and feed what was essentially farm animals, he took greater interest esp. in the sheep and cow. There were also bunnies and pigs!! He told me that he was scared of the pigs. Ha!

Zoe rode snuggly in the BabyBjorn and slept during the entire 2+ hours.
