A Beautiful Fall Day at the Zoo

It looks like a country lane, but really it was the Bronx Zoo. (And as this picture was being taken we were telling Simon, "No climbing.")























Mama and Simon singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" to the baby sea lion. Honestly, it was Simon's idea. Because the Sea Lion was taking a nap Simon wanted to sing to him.
















Visitng our friends the Gorillas.
















And who knew that one highlight of the zoo would be a chance to play in leaves?

All kinds of stuff...

Driving a bus. (Really the transit museum. I'm sure you never would have guessed.)
























Watching trains. (Really a wonderful new music box at Aunt Lisi and Uncle Robert's house.)



















Lots of laughs at their house too.

















And they served chocolate cake, and we got to take home the extra!

:(

Simon miscalculated where the coffee table was. So he caught himself with his face, rather than with his hands. Quite a shade of purple, though. (These photos are from several hours afterward.)

Elections are tiring

 

A Historic Day
