School at the Bronx Zoo today...

What a FABULOUS day at the Bronx Zoo and in NYC overall today. Mid 70's with sun and a breeze, you can't get much better than that!  I took the kids back to the Zoo today for school!  We adventured over towards the Asian area with the monorail and Jungle World.  We had never been over that way in ALL our 2 doz. Zoo visits and boy are we glad we did!  We saw some awesome insects, creepy crawlers and animals! 

  So much to learn at the Zoo.

(I apologize for the quality of the pictures, I did not bring my big SLR camera and the pictures are not as good as usual)



I watched this river otter take this large stone and move it into the water...it was too cool.



A taper, the girls were excited to know that one of Diego's animals was there!


This awesome black panther would not turn his head for the camera, every time I took the camera away, he would turn!  brat!



The kids getting ready for the monorail to take off!




The Bronx River from the Monorail, we went right over the top of it.


A wild horse from China. Way cool!





The kids talking to one of the animal helpers about Hyenas.
 Did you know that the female Hyena "runs the household"!




Went into the Tiger Mountain area to learn about Tigers, poaching and hunting them. Very sad 8(




We said a Wood Fairy might be living in the bottom of this tree!

What a great day!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
