New York, New York

When we told Jasper were going to the Museum of Natural History, he was excited. He loves museums.. then when Paul told him it is where they shot the movie Night at the Museum, all we heard was "hello dumb dumb, where's my gum gum" and where was he and when could we see him.. etc etc. It was never ending!
Well, as you can see, we found dumb dumb, and he did not want any gum gum. We had one very happy boy though!!
At Central Park Childrens Zoo, there was a spider web with a HUGE spider near by... Jasper served himself up as dinner!!!

One of the pathways had these lilly pads on them.. there was water underneath and I was a bit hesitant at crossing, but my little leap frog showed me just how it was done!! Then he pretended to be a turtle hatching out of an egg!
There were these logs and he just climbed outta those holes! you know Jasper, if there is something that looks like it could be climbed onto or out of, he will give it a go!
Smiling crazy was always part of the plan... this is on a tour bus.. a double decker with no roof that had stops you could get on and off of. It was the best way to get around and see what we wanted to see. We did a heap of walking, but this got us to the parts that were just that bit far..


This was outside the United Nations.. the Aussie flag is so far down the road it is not funny. We searched and searched for it, and Paul finally saw it!
This gun is also at the United Nations building. It is tied in a knot, Jasper was curious to know how the bullets came out to kill the baddies!
Random shot of Jasper and I walking across a street in NY.
Back to the Central Park Zoo. They have 2 polar bears and they were active and playing it up for the cameras. Paul took this shot. I think it is amazing! they are beautiful creatures.
Jasper under the wing of an eagle at the zoo...


Time Square. Lights are everywhere on all the buildings... even the Police Dept there has neon lights out the front. It is maddness.

This is near Battery Park. There was so many people around this bull.. it is on a traffic island, and the way people drive in NYC, you take your life into your hands getting to the bull
Yes, it does have a bum, and all the male anatomy (as Jasper will tell anyone who wants to listen).
When Jasper first saw the Statue of Liberty, he said "look, mummy, it's the Queen". I nearly wet myself laughiung!!! He now knows it is the Statue of Liberty. She is beautiful.
All the family with the Lady on the background.


That is it for a while. Jasper was meant to have bloods done on Thursday this week, but the doctor we were meant to see has decided to take the week off. We are rescheduled for early October instead.
Thanks for reading.
