Claire had two major sights on her list when she arrived in NYC. One was the Bronx zoo, where she spotted the... 
 
Grizzly bears cooling off in thier pool. After the bears, the priority became the giraffes. 
After the giraffes, the monkeys were next, but you aren't going to see any pictures of them here. We can only keep this webspace if we keep it clean. 
 

 
She must look like her father because she only has bottom teeth, and her mom only has top.... 
Dini couldn't believe how well prepared Sue was. In her fanny pack, there was a sucker to use as a bribe to get Claire in the stroller, Bandaids for Claires skinned knee, sunscreen, bug repellent, and snacks for Sue and Dini

It turned out that our favorite exhibit at the zoo wasn't the lion, or tigers or bears (or the monkeys, even with the extra special show they put on). It was the butterflies. 

Claire was fascinated, and that's prettty impressive since she was also exhausted. 
 
 
There were about ten of these peek through picture panels, and Claire had to try them all. Trying them included having someone snap her picture... good thing we have a digital camera. 
After the photo op's we stopped at the rubber stamp station. Of course each stamp had to be applied, and there were only about twenty of them.

Like I said Claire knew the two must see spots in NYC. One was the Bronx zoo, and the other was our pink and maroon art deco, 50's retro bathroom. 
We had walked down the street to the ice cream shop. I bet you can guess what flavor Claire had. 
 
You should always brush after eating. You wouldn't want any seeds to get stuck between your teeth and sprout.
