Can you believe we’ve been living in New Jersey for a full year already? To celebrate this year’s Independence day, we decided to take another visit to Turtleback Zoo. Being that it was nearly 100 degrees outside, we didn’t stay as long as we could’ve of, but then again, we pretty much saw all the animals within an hour anyways.
As a comparison, here’s a picture of Tiger during this year’s July 4th versus the picture we took last year at the Summit July 4th celebration.
What a difference a year makes! Yes, we know he looks a bit like a girl with the long hair (you’d be surprised at how much people said that). To look at more pictures from last year’s outing, click here.
On this special occasion, Tiger got to take part in his first train ride (note to mama and dada: next time, don’t sit too close to the front of the train, as the train horn is extremely loud).
Of course, we couldn’t leave without riding the carousel, which for some reason, Tiger wouldn’t ride on any of the animals.
Unfortunately, no watching fireworks this year for us. It was simply too late (started at 9pm) and the heat was just too unbearable. Maybe by this time next year, the weather will be much better where we’re at.
