I thought Princess would be amused by the animals, since she knows most of them by name now and likes to point them out on tv and in her books. But no. She was mostly interested in the fact that each animal had a ball in its cage to play with. So Hub and I are saying - Princess, look at the bear! And she is saying - Ball!
All in all, it was a fun day. We walked alot, rode the merry go round, looked at the scenic views, had a little picnic, and looked at the animals. But obviously, there was no Ya-Ya-Helmet-wearing going on this weekend. Sorry to disappoint. But here are some pics from our little trip:
This is a view of Bear Mountain Lake, where we had our picnic.
Here's us at the Harriman Bridge, which was once the longest suspension bridge in the world (back in the 20's).
True and Princess ride the Merry-Go-Round. My little daredevil loved it.
And the real reason I think Hub likes nature - ducks doing it. That's right, its duck porn.

I haven't been to Bear Mountain in a long time! My mom went last year with her girlfriends. I love going up there! And it's not far from the city at all!
That's one cute little girl, glad she had a great time! That's one thing I used to enjoy doing with my ex - going camping, fishing, just hanging out outdoors. Don't get too much of a chance to do that now, being single & all :op
Duck Porn!!!!!
Woot!
Looks like ya'll had fun....
Oh how cool!! We're off to West By God next weekend for the same thing. I can however, get lost in the woods watching trees grow and rivers flow...it's so peaceful out there. Love the duck porn! LMAO!
Hello, Michele sent me, and great pics, btw!!!
Sounds like fun! That is cracking me up that Princess was obsessed with the ball in each cage. I had one nephew who was obsessed with them when he was little. He carried one around constantly for about the first three years of his life!
I'm with you Jersey, I prefer shopping & manicures to anything naturesque. My backyard has enough nature for me, and if I get the urge to go home, I can in about 30 seconds. :-)
It sounds like you had a great time though!
Duck porn?! AHHH -- my eyes! My eyes!!
Glad you had a good weekend! Looks like you had beautiful weather. Now after all that hiking, I think you deserve an afternoon at the spa:-)
looks like you all had a fun time! :)
Sounds like you've had a great weekend! Princess, as always, look adorable!
trine
what a wonderful day to enjoy the warming days .. hopefully, you stayed away from poison ivy, that's the sorta nature i don't care to bring home.
Love me some good duck porn. (only kidding....I'm sure no one says that phrase much, though!)
I remember going to Bear Mountain as a girl. We hiked there a number of times. I is strong in my memory.
Great pictures! I remember Rachel's early merry-go-round rides.
Duck Porn...LOL! Too funny.
Looks like you all had a great time. You have a beautiful family ;)
OMG! i was going "awww..." all throughout your post! then, i got to the end! duck porn!:lol:
Well what kind of trip would it be without the duck porn, right! :)
Sounds like you guys had fun, I'm with you on the anti-nature stuff...I'm so the city spoiled girl!
By the way, your princess...SO adorable!
Hey! Where's the parental advisory Larry Flint? Best duck porn I've seen in ages!
Looks like a beautiful spot to spend a day, but like you I'm not a naturegirl either -- I'd get out there and enjoy the big wide wondrous world, if only it didn't have so much dirt, and so many bugs.
This is the other Dawn:)
I love the pictures!

Good morning, I'm here via Michele, but you know I visit anyway. Your Princess is just darling.
Last week on our nature outing I got a picture of turtle porn. Apparently both of us are 12-year-old boys.
Hi TJG- I am here via Michele's SOD, but I visit anyway. Nice pictures!
Looks like a fun time.
Michele sent me. Have a great day. =)
When I used to be a Pseudo Jersey Girl (immigrated from central NYS), we used to go up to West Point for football games. Somehow we missed Bear Mountain as a destination in itself. Beautiful area around there!
Oh, and hello, Michele sent me!
For some reason I keep thinking of 16 candles. Long Duc Dong?
Michele sent me. :)

I stopped by and saw that Michele was sending everyone over here. So I went to her place so she could send me too, but we both now I stop by on my own.
Quack! Michele sent me.
I'm from South Jersey...and, though Bon Jovi was never my fav, I went to 2 concerts 3 & 4 years ago (my sister's bil was a lighting guy) and we got to dance on sidestage! The first time, I was 8 mos preg. :)
Scenic vistas, cutie pies and duck porn! What more could a girl ask for?
I'm already a fan, but I'm here via Michele today. Always nice to see that things are bright and sunny in good old Jersey.
Those pictures are great, especially the duckporn!
Michele sent me,

Little did I know that by stopping by today, I would be getting FREE DUCK PORN! You're so funny!
