Bronx Zoo and Ponchos

My family went to the Bronx Zoo on Saturday to celebrate my mom's birthday. What an interesting day to go to the zoo. It started raining almost as soon as we arrived. We bought these really cheap ponchos, the material was similar to what you'd find on sandwich bags (the cheapest, generic brands). If you're not careful putting it on, you'd tear it. But it was so much fun, although it was kind of gross walking around in the dirt and rain, especially since I wore flip flops. Yes, it was not the smartest thing I've ever done. We saw a lot of awesome animals, my favorite was the polar bear, he (or she) was totally putting on a show for us! This is the first time I'd been to the zoo with family, definitely a good family outing spot. I think my mom really enjoyed the experience.

I told them to make a funny face, and this was the result.


















We saw so many interesting patterned frogs!


















Aren't these toads funny looking? They probably thought that about me too.


















Awww.... it's a mini frog

















These are snakes! Weird huh?! They blend in with branches, and they're in water!

















Us with our ponchos


































Polar bear playing in the water, he (or she) is sooooo cute!

















Flamingos' legs look like they're plastic


















Sleeping bird's butt

















Another cool looking bird

















One of the cutest things I've ever seen!!

















Doesn't he look happy, like he's smiling?

the croc/gator is thinking:

"that yellow and green thing wrapped in the plastic looks good to eat -- i don't usually eat processed foods, but, i guess i can break my diet"

you = the yellow + green thing wrapped in the plastic
