Meet the Cousins

I've been a bit lazy on updating the blog. Bear with me as I add a few from recent events.

Earlier in November, Jack took his first trip to Massachusetts to meet the rest of his family. First thing to note is that it only took us a little over 3 hours to drive from NYC to Leominster. This, my friends, is a land speed record for us and makes the drives that take 4.5 to 5 hours suck even more.

More important, Jack met his cousins - Julia and Connor - and his extended family. It was a rambunctious event. What else would you expect from a MacFarlane gathering? 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 ...
