Trips to the Park

div>for those of you not familiar with the brooklyn area, prospect park is in the heart of brooklyn. it's a 565 acre park with a 66 acre lake complete with pedal boats and a guided boat tour. there are lots of geese and fisherman (although it is strictly catch and release, so we're not frying up any trout).


we practically live at the park. we've been at least a dozen times and we've seen about half of it! if brooklyn were it's own city, it would be the 4th largest city in the US, but we can walk 3 blocks to the park and we are surrounded by nature. once your inside the park, you can't even hear the traffic anymore. it's been a true oasis for us... and about 7 million other people.

the prospect park zoo





































the animals are so used to so many people that you can walk right up to them. we stumbled upon this swan family with three little ones.
