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.

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 ...

3 Perfect Innings

Jack pitched for the Bluebirds today. He started and pitched three full innings. He faced 9 batters and got 9 outs. Not a bad start.
