Central Park Zoo with Aunt Cynthia

On Memorial Day (May 25) we met Aunt Cynthia at the Central Park Zoo. Even though we missed the penguin feeding and the sea lion feeding, we had a great time! Natalie especially liked riding the train (“just like Daddy!”) and the children’s area of the zoo. The highlight for me was spotting Jon Stewart, who was at the zoo with his children.

Since the zoo had both sea lions and seals, Natalie learned to tell the difference. A few weeks after the trip, Natalie and Meema were looking at a copy of Ranger Rick at the library. Meema pointed out a photograph of what she thought was a seal. Natalie quickly corrected her, saying, “Well, it looks like a seal, but it’s actually a sea lion.” Meema then read the caption on the photo and realized that Natalie was right!
