Summer in the City

Summer has finally arrived in NYC. We've had a mix of sunny, warm days and rainy, muggy days over the last week. This Saturday (Aug. 1st) was a warm, sunny day - but slightly humid. We took advantage of the weather by meeting several friends in Sheep Meadow in Central Park.

For those that are unfamiliar with Central Park, Sheep Meadow is in the lower third, stretching between 66th and 69th streets on the west side (more details here). This is what Justin and I consider our outdoor space in the city - we just happen to share with thousands of our closest friends!

Anyway, we found a good shady spot and were joined by
  • Chat, Nina, Ketun, and Naya (7 month old twins)
  • Sarah Goulding
  • Phil and Ylang (with baby on the way - due mid-December)
  • Lisa, Rich, and Niamh (almost 2)
  • Judy (Jenn's Mom)
We shared great snacks, enjoyed the weather, and more importantly, had a great time catching up some friends. Pictures are below.

Called up

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
