Field Trip - Bear Mountain Zoo

This Zoo is a smaller, more hiking, nature type zoo. There are also a handful of "museums" within the trails. It was a great day to be out and about..We picnicked after walked the trailside and then headed for home...Best thing - FREE! (I think weekends you pay to park, but not during the week - until the "season" starts)



Lodge 

Pretty lake picnic side


Tunnel leading from the picnic side of the park to the zoo side - goes under the street.


Lots to read about!














The Bear Mountain Bridge - hubby goes over this every day to work...not a bad view huh!













Great day!  

Be Blessed!

we love that park> Ive been going there for years and years. if you walk behind the history museum, you are basically UNDER the bridge, about 100 feet from it, its pretty cool
What a neat zoo! We went to our local zoo not long ago on a field trip. The picture of the bridge is amazing!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

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
