Zoo

The Animal Themed Weekend

by

Saturday we took the bus to the Queens Zoo.  We typically goto the petting zoo because the girls always seemed not interested in the regular zoo.  Saturday we went to the regular zoo.  Both girls were very interested and it was a fun outing.  They loved the ducks.  Amelia was interested in the Sea Lion’s however Teagan wasn’t so much.

We ate lunch outside at the zoo.  it was a nice day overall.

Sunday we went to the Queens County Farm for a birthday party of one of Teagan’s friends.  It was fun.  The girls got to see and pet a few more animals and we went on a hay ride.

Flushing Meadow Park Take Two

Today we went to flushing meadow park. Last time we went Teagan ended up sleeping through the Zoo and was only mildly interested in the Animals at the petting Zoo.  Today we wanted to take her to the carousel.  She has been riding her Lion like a horse so we thought she might enjoy the carousel.  First MC took her on a little train ride.  It was just a train that went around in a circle but it was a perfect ride for a 9 month old baby.  She enjoyed the train a lot, and I was able to get a bunch of good photos of her and MC on it.  The carousel on the other hand Teagan did not like as much.  I put her on one of the horses that move up and down since she always tries to rock on the lion we have.  She was very excited when she was sitting on the horse before we started moving.  As we started moving however she was less happy.  She didn’t really cry but you could see from her face she wasn’t having a great time.  I am not sure if it was the speed, the wind, or the going up and down that wasn’t fun for her.  Next time we will try a non moving horse.

After the rides we went to the petting zoo.  Teagan got to pet a few animals and feed one or two.  It was super hot and there weren’t as many animals out as there was the last time we went there.  After a short time at the petting zoo we headed home.  MC took Teagan to the pool in the late afternoon while I got ready for the reunion that I will write about in the next post.

The Queens Zoo

by

We missed going to the Central Park Zoo when we were there a few weeks ago and then we had plans with family and friends for a few weekends. With this free weekend we wanted to give the zoo another try. This time we headed to the queens zoo. It was a fast 20 minutes on one bus and a few blocks walk. It was the perfect day. Teagan was up the entire trip to the zoo and then fell asleep right when we got there. MC and i got to walk around a bit and then walked around Flushing Meadow park. We were about to leave when Teagan woke up so we went back to the petting zoo part of the zoo and MC fed some animals and Teagan just watched intently.

We headed home after that but I started getting a Migraine and MC was tired from being up a long night, so the rest of the day was low key.
