Clara and Emma Visit the Bronx Zoo

Clara and Emma woke up at 7 ish and Mommy got them dressed and out the door to go to the house for breakfast with Daddy and Grandma Gornstein. They were excited to
"scoop" their oatmeal and eat bananas. Grandma and Mommy took them to Decicco's for a quick market trip. Mommy put her ice coffee down and turned around and when she turned back, Emma was drinking it out of the straw and saying "coffee... yummy."

Today, Clara and Emma went to the Bronx Zoo with Mommy and Daddy. It was a beautiful morning with temps in the 70s. They both enjoyed seeing the sea lions and clapped- which they knew from their book "I Can Do It." The ladies loved the Children Zoo and loved seeing ducks and kept saying "duck, duck." They loved the petting zoo too. The ladies also visited the giraffes, zebras, baboons, antelopes, and lots of birds. It was a fun morning.

Mommy took the ladies back to the townhouse the gang is living in this week and was super happy that the kids took a nap in a crib for a few hours. Then, it was off to pick up Grandma for
a Target run. Grandma told Emma to say goodbye to the lady, so Emma took it literally and said "bye lady, bye lady." Clara and Emma enjoyed dinner at the Dobbs Diner- and Clara mostly enjoyed playing with Mommy's food.

Clara couldn't get enough of "Wheels on the Bus" tonight and was making her hands go round like the wheels and smiling and nodding. It was very cute.
