Papa is out of town for a wedding (Congrats Griffy and Jas!), but we still got out of the house to do some local exploring. The Prospect Park Zoo had a "Sea Lions and Samba" event that involved a samba band banging away on drums while animal handlers directed two sea lions to "dance" for the crowd. They were pretty good dancers, but there are no pictures because it's hard to keep a 14 month old on your shoulders and take a picture at the same time. After the sea lions were all danced out, some pretty ladies in feathers led the crowd in a dance routine.
Some other pretty ladies spent the day with us, which was great because I can't imagine having done this solo! Thanks, Amy and Lisa.
Bo Peep and her sheep. I kept thinking how funny it is that a Brooklyn zoo has sheep, horses, cows, goats, etc. All this stuff that I grew up with. And on the way out of the zoo, in Prospect Park, I noticed a special attraction that welcomes visitors to "Dig in the Dirt!" My mother sent me out into our field of Black Angus cows, each weighing one ton, to collect manure for the garden. "Dig in the Dirt!" indeed.
We did not, however, have baboons on Highbridge Farm. Check out this Papa baboon! He was so incredibly well groomed, I was impressed.
And two babies. Twins? They raced around like crazy, reminding me of some other pair of babies.
