Monday we went to the craft store and painted some crafts. After that we went to Central Park and played at the girls' favorite park. Then we went home, relaxed and had some dinner. Not a too stressful day.
Tuesday we went to Coney Island to the Aquarium. On the drive there, it poured rain. It was kind of scary to drive in but we made it. The rain went to a drizzle and stayed that way the rest of the day. While at the aquarium we saw some pretty cool fish. We also saw some walruses, sea lions, otters, and turtles. We couldn't go see the sharks because I guess that exhibit was closed. We decided that we need to plan another day to go there. Preferably one that is a sunny day. :)
Wednesday we went to the Bronx Zoo. That was a fun adventure. We weren't able to see all of the animals that were there because the zoo is really big and we just didn't have enough time. But we did get to watch the zoo workers feed the sea lions. It was amazing to see that the sea lions really remember what they are taught and what they will do for their food. It's also cool to know that they obey their trainers. When we went to the baboons exhibit, they were all just sitting there doing nothing. Then, they all started to run around and scream. It was so awesome! They came right up to the glass and I thought one of them was going to run smack into it! Then we headed back to the car so we could go home and watch the girls' dad and uncle play basketball.
Thursday was Central Park Zoo day. Central Park Zoo isn't as big as the Bronx Zoo but we didn't see everything because it was cold and we also had another plan for the day. Anyway, when we were in the zoo we went to the 4-D Theater for a preview of what it's like. Let's just say, I will pay the money to see a full movie in 4-D. It was so cool! It's like you are actually in the movie. Some movies, I will most likely die of fright because of how the seats have a beat and water can spray on you. You have to experience it to believe it! After that we went to see the red pandas. Sadly though they weren't being playful...they were just napping so we then went to Macy's to get the girls Easter dresses. Then went home and relaxed.
Friday the girls spent the day with their mom. So I took a relaxing/lazy day. I did go swimming and while I was there there were some teenage boys having competitions and I was just practicing my handstands. After coming up for air, I saw the lifeguard pointing at me and saying that I won. I apparently won a handstand contest without really being a part of it. That was cool.
Saturday the girls and I decided to go to the Bronx Zoo again and look at animals we didn't see last time. We also brought a couple of Shi's friends. They had a blast! And we saw giraffes, rhinos, a lioness and her cubs, peacocks, hyenas, and tigers. The girls had fun and were really good and remembering the rules we made to stay safe and together.
This week was a really successful week and so much fun! I can't wait until next weekend when we go to DC! So excited! Thanks for reading!
