The Bronx Zoo...!

Dear Nicky,

Today we went to the Bronx Zoo. It was great. It's the biggest zoo in the country and a world-class zoo as well. We left here about 9 this morning and got there with no problems around 10. There was plenty of parking and the weather was just right. We brought the jogging stroller and with its big cushiony tires it was no problem pushing you guys around. The place was clean and well maintained everywhere you looked. The workers were helpful and knowledgeable. The crowds were light on a Monday morning. We went to the children's zoo, the monkey house, saw the sea lions (differentiated from seals by the presence of their pinna, or ears), and the Madagascar exhibit. We barely scratched the surface and left when you guys started getting sleepy, but we'll defintitely go back. Later in the afternoon, Mom took you to Doc Berg, who says it's time for new ear tubes, which you'll be getting a week from tomorrow. You'll feel better with new, functioning tubes in there.
