Marcy!

I’m so excited!
I am TOTALLY excited!

My friend Patricia asked me if I was interested in hiking Mount Marcy this summer.

HIKE MOUNT MARCY!

It would be challenging for sure, but it is definitely motivation, a goal, for me to get back in shape after a long winter of becoming a blob.

Patricia and I took a short hike the other day, and it felt great. It really got me inspired and excited about this summer!

There will be more to come later…

Welcome, Luna

Luna is the new polar bear cub at the Buffalo Zoo.   She’s quite playful and fun to watch!  We had a great time on Easter Sunday visiting the Buffalo Zoo, and I took a bit of video to share with you all!  Enjoy!

KHAN!

This lion’s name is actually Khan.

It seemed fitting to us as we were just watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and we had a good laugh.

A view at the Zoo!

If you’ve been lurking around my blog the last few days, I’m sure you’ve noticed a few of the photos I snapped.  They were taken at the Buffalo Zoo on Easter.  My husband and I decided to make a day of it in Buffalo since we were headed out there for Easter dinner with my family.  AND of course they have the new polar bear cub that we wanted to see.

It worked out really well actually because I had signed up for a membership at our Seneca Park Zoo here in Rochester.  This got Jeff and me in for 50% off the regular price.  I’m always in favor of a deal!  And we got to see some really cool, interesting, and fun animals!

Yesterday, I made another trip to the zoo.  This time to Seneca Park down the street from me!  I actually took a group of students here and I met up with another teacher and some students she had invited.  We had a group of us, and it was great because there was hardly anyone there.  We had the zoo to ourselves for the most part!  And that is the best way to enjoy the zoo.

Of course, the weather was on again, off again snow with sunshine thrown in.  Some of the kids were cold, but I think we had a fun time anyways.

Teenagers having fun at the zoo – it was great!

Stay tuned for more wildlife pictures as the days go by!
