A fun playdate at the zoo!

Eli enjoyed a wonderful "playdate" weekend with his good friend Scarlet while Ryan and I enjoyed a nice visit with Scarlet's mom and dad, Sonia and Matt.  We always have a great time with them and it's actually fun that we just happened to have babies at the same time (Scarlet is just one month older than Eli)! 

They made the drive in from PA and we headed to a full day at the Bronx Zoo.  Yes -- a FULL day.  We got to the zoo when it opened and left when it closed!  Both babies were amazingly great all day!  7 hours at the zoo seems excessive, but we didn't even see the whole thing (the Bronx Zoo is that big!).  Ryan and I got a membership to the NYC zoos last year (pre-pregnancy even) and I have a feeling we will be renewing it for years and years.  We always have a great time at the zoo and it is a nice place to bring friends!

I think Eli's favorite part might have been the monorail ride through Asia (we had never done this before it was great!) and I hear Scarlet's favorite part was the reptile house (that also had amphibians in it!).  Here are a few photos from our adventure!  Here are a lot of photos from our adventure ... it was hard to pick only a few with two cute babies at the zoo!





Crazy moms!
(With our matching strollers!)











Not sure why I love this one so much!
Those are some cute babies!
