A day full of plants and animals

Today I spent at the NY Botanical Gardens and the Bronx Zoo. I decided to go to these places since I hadn't been to them in several years. I spent a long time among the lilacs at the Gardens-pictures will be coming once I figure out which ones I want to show. The Gardens were so much larger than I remembered. It was a beautiful day to walk among the plants. I did buy a nice t-shirt at the nice gift shop.
At the Bronx Zoo, there were several schools which I was hoping to avoid since Wednesdays are the days that it's free to get in. But I enjoyed myself none the less. Probably my favorite was the Red Pandas-normally when I've seen them, they're sleeping but these two were active today. Very cute. Cute enough for me to get Pandie, the Red Panda at the zoo's gift shop.
Overall, a really beautiful day to be outside and I have the feet pain to prove all the walking I did! :)

Zoos are so fun! When we visit my mom we go to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Ne.
