Zoo Part Two

We've been way behind on blogging but we are getting caught up now that we are back from Cleveland, we have a lot of pictures to show, including finishing up from our trip to Florida. Here are the rest of the highlights from the Palm Beach Zoo.



The monkey didn't seem too fazed, but Nolan was a bit freaked out!



Andrew greeting a Peacock.



No cameras, please!



He doesn't look too excited, but Andrew was thrilled that he got to pet an alligator.

More spring training

Monkeying around at Spring Training

We took a trip to Port St. Lucie while in Florida to see the Mets get destroyed by the Cardinals 15-4 but that didn't stop us from having a great time. The complete post comes tomorrow!

Butterfly World Part Tres

I know you're probably sick of Butterfly World by now but just bear with me through one more post. Here are just a few more.



I told Andrew not to tease the animals.



When animals attack!



Two men and a Lorikeet.

Butterfly World Part Dos

Steve was a chick...uhh.... lorikeet magnet.



While Nolan kept his distance most of the time.




The stare down.



They seemed to like me too...



....they liked me so much that they peed on me.


Andrew did his best to try to knock the bridge down via stomping.

Nolan just about had enough. Stay tuned tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!!

Road Trip: Nashville- Rangers vs. Predators

As a Christmas gift, Elizabeth surprised me with two tickets to see the Rangers in Nashville, and I got to take Andrew! So the boys (sans Nolan) made a road trip to The Music City for some hockey. I only had my dinky little point & shoot camera, so I apologize for the quality and lack of quantity. We were too busy eating hot dogs, ice cream and rooting the Rangers onto victory to take too many pictures.



The nice lady from the bank gave Andrew a sucker, and he got the most out of it!



The one brief moment that Andrew allowed me to put his hat on him, but he was happy for that moment!

Butterfly World Part Uno

Outside of Pompano Beach, Butterfly World has the largest collection of butterflies on the globe. We took a trip there during our Florida trip. Check it out!



The shadow is from Andrew, who was swooping in to get a piece of a butterfly!



A butterfly landed on Elizabeth's finger and Andrew is mesmerized.



Andrew and Nolan watch a butterfly fly away from Mom.




We thought this was pretty funny.


Heading across the suspension bridge.



Nolan walking towards Uncle Steve.



Nolan loved every bit of it!

We're baaaaack!

We just returned from a vacation in Pompano Beach, Florida with the Pugliese clan but we wanted to give you a teaser picture from the trip.
We all went to Butterfly World during the trip. Here, Andrew and Elizabeth were very popular with the Lorikeets and they fed them some lunch. Stay tuned during the next few days as we do more posts from the vacation.

Swimming lessons

Andrew began his second stint at swimming lessons, and it definitely started better than the first time. There was no crying or screaming, just a ton of smiles and a little too much splashing water on his classmates.



Andrew and his instructor practice floating on his back.



This was about as close as he came to listening to the instructors.



Avoiding the long arm of the law!
