Days 14/15: Bronx Zoo

Saturday morning, bright and early, we got up with Jeff's parents and went to the Bronx Zoo.  We got to the zoo at 8:45 am, when it doesn't open til 10.  We were first in line to park, as well as first to get into the zoo.  It was awesome!  The zoo was so big and so fun.  The worst part was the 80 degree weather with 80% humidity!  


 The butterfly garden was so cool!  We were the first and only ones in there.  It was fun to be able to walk around and see it to ourselves.  
  


 We love the zoo!  (This is an awful picture!  Haha, we are not very photogenic!)  


 Jeff and his parents.  This was the best part of the whole day.  We sat through an 8 min video of conservation in the Congo.  After the video was over, the screen went up and curtains opened to the gorilla exhibit.  There were about 20 gorillas in a huge area!  It was amazing!  We just sat there in amazement.  I can't even explain to you how cool it was.  I love gorillas!  



Our favorite part of the Hoggle Zoo is the elephants (well the baby elephant), but at the Bronx zoo the elephants were not very cool.  You can only see them from the Monorail and you drive past them for only about 20 secs.  It was disappointing.  
We loved our visit to the Bronx Zoo!
