It's the Great Pumpkin

This morning, we piled in the car and headed out to a farm in NJ about an hour from the city. We had a ton of fun. There was a farm animal petting zoo where kids could feed carrots slices to the animals. Jack fed bunnies, sheep, pigs, and alpacas. He also wandered past the goats, ducks, roosters, hens, peahens, peacocks, donkeys, horses, and I'm sure a few other animals that I've forgotten.

After we spent time at the petting zoo, we rode in a hay wagon behind a tractor to a pumpkin patch where we picked out pumpkins. Jack found one for him and one for Spencer.

The day was a gorgeous fall day. When we were driving out the farm, at one point, it felt like we turned a corner and BAM! we were in fall. The leaves on the trees were turning and the air felt fresher (of course, almost any air is fresher than NYC, but still it felt fresher and calmer). We had a great time. And, of course, a few pictures.

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
