Easter Recap

As usual, I'm late posting pictures from Easter. It was a low-key holiday for us. Justin left Saturday morning of Easter weekend to fly to Asia for a business trip. My mom flew up from NC to help out while Justin was away. Saturday was miserable - cold and raining...ALL DAY!

Fortunately, Sunday was much better weather-wise. We started the morning by going to the Central Park Zoo. Jack had fun at the petting zoo yelling at the bunny rabbit and attempting to pet the baby goats. At the main zoo, we saw the polar bears lounging in the sun and we watched part of the sea lion show. Jack is finally seeing the sea lions, though that doesn't mean they are keeping his attention. I think he most enjoyed walking around the sea lion enclosure.

Later that afternoon, the three of us joined Lisa, Rich, Niamh, and Imy for an Easter Egg hunt in Central Park. All in all, it was a big hit - Jack had fun picking up a couple of eggs while Niamh was able to run around and pick up the rest. Jack then helped to open a couple, sending the contents flying onto the muddy ground! Oh well, next year it will make more sense to him.

I've included a few pictures from the day.

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
