Bronx Zoo and Cousins

Bright and early we headed to B-Ville NY to hang w cousins and Aunt K and Uncle A and Malin. We went to Bronx Zoo and started off w the monorail heading over Asian animals, including the elephants aptly named Maxine and Patty. 

These 2 could be twins. And Esme could kick Ben's butt. 

Very large deer as seen from monorail. 

I can't remember which animals we were viewing. Bats and monkeys? They had all these cool large exhibits w multiple animals. Really neat.

Posing on statue. H found a bird feather and decided it was peacock- since they roamed freely. Finley and Nick just returned from camp and Griff told me he doesn't need a Halloween costume bc he actually is Superman. 

Benny refusing a selfie. 

The awesome bug carousel. All the kids had their bugs picked before we started loading. 

Nick's little bug was def my fave.

These 2 were so cute. 

This croc was legit. Ben said "He was scary to me!" Hell yeah. 

The children's zoo area. J and Esme in a nest in a heron's den. 

Essie in the net bridge.

Benny passed out cold. 

My fave. So we were all w barn animals. And Jack found me and said "I wanna show u something cute." We walked pretty far back and she pointed out to me these little fellows. They did not disappoint. 

Cows. So bummed BBB was asleep. 

Tractor. 

On way out. Malin rules. I will miss her for a million reasons.

I don't think the photo below needs explanation. 

Perfect end to the last weekend of summer.
