We’re coming to the end of our first real family vacation week. Yes, I had to work, but only 9 am-1 pm on Monday and 7:30 am to 10 am on Wednesday. We did a little bit of work around the house in the earlier part of the week, but then we decided to start having fun.
On Thursday, we took Nicky to the Seneca Park Zoo for the very first time. It was a beautiful day, right around 70 degrees and sunny. There were lots of animals to see -
- a leopard
- rhinoceroses
- wolves
- a tiger
- hyenas
- baboons
- bald eagles
- pythons
- bullfrogs
- sea lions
- elephants
- orangutans
- lemurs
- meerkats
- alligators
I’m sure there were more that I forgot about. Nicky didn’t really pay much attention to the animals; he’s more of a people-watcher right now. It didn’t matter; Chuck and I enjoyed looking at the animals and we all had a really great time! It’s a really great trip for any age; it’s only about 20 minutes from our house, and you could do lots in just a couple of hours time or make a day of it with the nearby park.
On Friday, we went to Springdale Farm in Spencerport, also about 20 minutes away. We saw lots of animals:
- cows
- pigs (and piglets!)
- peacocks (actually, peafowl – peahens are girls; peacocks are boys)
- horses
- geese
- sheep
- goats
- hens and a rooster
And probably more that I forgot. We had a really great time and Nicky seemed to like it a ton! We’ll definitely go back there. The photos will be posted soon…
