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.

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
