Ana is ten now!
May. 15th, 2013 08:59 amAnd since the 15th fell on a Wednesday we ditched school and went to the Bronx Zoo, which is free Wednesdays. I say free, but we bought the discounted Total Experience tickets anyway, and then the girls didn't end up wanting to see/do even one of the special exhibits! Sheesh.
To make things worse, it turns out that being a camel is a union job, and they won't work in the rain. Three times we've gone there, three times we've utterly failed to get a camel ride. But we did get to see a crane come very very close to us, and see the tigers, and generally enjoy our visit, so that's all right. We finished the day with a visit to the playground and two different bookstores, and then went out to a restaurant which had THE COOLEST HAND DRIERS EVER. Eva's face as she used it was hilarious. Ana didn't need help figuring out the sink fixtures, so I don't know how her face looked.
And now Ana is ten! Double digits! I am... so not ready for this. I'm trying to let it sink in gradually.
