Mom and dad took Caitlin to the Central Park Zoo, her very first visit to a zoo, and she LOVED it! Her favorites were Cole the goat at the petting zoo and the flamingoes and parrots in the Tropics exhibit. Dad did a great job of giving Caitlin the best views of all the animals.
Caitlin also got to see her first movie at the zoo. It was a 15 minute short edition of The Polar Express in 4-D, and the movie had all kinds of cool special effects, including strobe lights, fake snow, bubbles and sprays of water. Mom thought she might be scared, but she was not!
We recently spent a long weekend at a funny little resort in the Poconos (hello parenthood), which totally reminded me of the resort in the movie "Dirty Dancing". It was a bit stodgy and but still a nice getaway from the city and we enjoyed the lake and fall foliage. Caitie also enjoyed the change of pace and relaxing in nature, even though the sound of police sirens and taxis honking seems to lull her to sleep.
