NYC

This past weekend we got to go to NYC and spend some time with the Uncles. Rowan wasted no time getting to know our weekend benefactors.Kaylee was intrigued by Uncle Chuck's technology...she is her daddy's girl after all.
She also showed off her ballet skills. I believe this is passe.
Leave it to the 3 year old to make a nice leather chair into a jungle gym.
We got to see a few of Mommy's friends while in New York. Here, Kaylee charmed Alex into a game of Go Fish. I don't think Alex realized he wanted to play Go Fish...
Irina and Alex's baby, Veronica (Nika), was a fun new friend for Kaylee and Rowan.
They did a good job sharing their toys.
Nika especially liked Rowan's shape sorter...so get right on that Irina.
Nika and Rowan.
Nika and Mommy Irina.
On Sunday we went to the Bronx Zoo...the biggest hit was most certainly...
the sea lions.
Both girls especially liked this big guy who talked a lot.
We spent a good deal of time at the Sea Lion pool.
Rowan nor Kaylee really wanted to leave to see the rest of the animals.
So we kept shuffling who was holding who until the adults finally prevailed.
And it was off to see the rest of the zoo. We love this picture...meaning we love our camera, as this shot was obviously taken through glass.
We spent a good amount of time in the monkey house too...appropriate for our little monkeys.
The zoo monkeys weren't necessarily as entertained as my monkeys though...
Rowan's favorite part of the zoo, you ask? Why the hanging strips to help keep the birds inside the Bird House of course.
She spent quite a bit of time going back and forth.
Naturally Kaylee had to get in on that action.
They seriously spent a good 5 minutes at this game...
luckily the zoo wasn't that crowded so we didn't get in anyone's way.
But we think the purpose of the zoo trip itself may have been lost on our 3 and 1 year old adventurers.
And a smattering of a few other pictures...a genuine big Kaylee smile.
A silly Kaylee smile.
A very serious Rowan.
And a very happy Rowan.
That is all.
