Sledding: take 3

We went to Central Park yesterday afternoon to enjoy the day's snow fall. We met Lisa, Rich, Niamh, & Imy who graciously let us use their sled. While we didn't have a sled, I made sure that Jack was well prepared for snow with a snow bib, coat, boots, and real gloves. Spence also made use of the great snowsuit that Ylang and Phil lent us (did you guys need this back?!?!). Justin and I are, of course, another story, so we bundled up as best we could.

This time Jack hopped right on the sled and loved it! He took many rides down the hill. And was pulled back up on most occasions. Finally Rich had him pull the sled up himself. He made it - though it took about four times as long!

Called up

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 ...
