Advent Day 16 - the Zoo

This morning we headed to the Central Park Zoo. To be honest, the weather wasn't that nice - very drizzly, but this was good as it meant the Zoo was fairly empty. We even got to stand and watch the Sea Lions perform (and Bluet even learned to say "Sea Lion").

Here is Bluet looking for a snake


She actually really liked this blue lizard, the name of which I have temporarily forgotten. She even asked if it did the tongue thing that snakes do


She also likes the mongooses (mongeese?) - the Zoo sensibly keeps the snakes side by side with the things that eat snakes, just in case the snakes escape


Here is Bluet looking at the sea lions (and trying to lick the glass)

Bluet, looking at piranahs


Ok, so the thing Bluet really likes best at the Zoo isn't the animals, it's these fabric barriers they have to separate the darkened, snake and mongoose filled room from the stairs leading up to them. Bluet ran through these dividers so many times, I thought she never would stop. Eventually she did (i think when she saw the blue lizard), but we should probably hang some in our next house instead of doors, just to keep her amused.
