say hello to our little friends...

the new baby lion cubs at the bronx zoo!!!

 

omgosh they are SO adorable!  there are 3 of them, we were able to get photos of 2 of the little guys.  they are so fun to watch, bouncing & sneaking around, trying to play with the big mama & daddy lions.  it kinda took me by surprise how fantastic it was to see these little ones in person.  we've seen cubs a bazillion times on tv, but seeing them in real life is really super special.  we must have spent about 1/2 hour just standing there watching them!

it was one of those ridiculously hot & humid days in new york so the zoo was nice & empty.  the kids were able to go on the carousel 2 times in a row without any wait!  & they had their pick of which bug to ride on...that never happens!

 

 

my favorite exhibit was Madagascar once again.  those animals are insanely cool to watch & they set up the exhibit so you get SO close to them & it is all open so you really get close.  it is really amazing...this one ring tailed lemur walked right by us.....SOOOOO cool!!! 

PLUS it was soooooo nice & air conditioned in there :)

these red furry lemurs were awesome too.  i declared these guys my favorite of the day. :)  so cute & so playful!  they jumped all around & sat on tiny tree limbs eating lettuce.  so cool.

it's another hot one today.....so we are off to the pool!

happy tuesday!

love the baby lions. our zoo had tiger cubs born 5 days after alex, it was so fun to go see them and watch them grow up. though, at 9 they're adults and he isn't. ;) both ben and sam had baby chimps born around when they were, and it's been fun to watch them, too. =)
