The Bronx Zoo

The very first mini trip we had this summer was to the Bronx Zoo.  It has been 2 years since we had been there and the animals were very happy to see us ........I think.

A Long Island Tractor Pull

Here are some photos from the Tractor Pull we went to a few weeks ago in Jamesport, LI.  Everyone had a very good time.

July Update

Sorry it's been so long.  We are having a great summer so far.  Nicholas did 2 weeks of summer camp in a program about High Seas Adventures. He learned a bit about pirates. Mean while Evan spent some quality time with Mackenzie.  This past weekend we were fortunate to be able to take a mini vacation to Mystic, Ct.  We took the ferry over through the Long Island Sound.  While there we visited the Mystic Aquarium and then the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat on the Conneticut River.  Everyone had an awesome time.  Here are some pictures of the trip
