Jack's Fourth Birthday Party

Jack's 4th birthday party was this morning. Rather than organizing in the park or at home, we took the plunge and booked a party at Chelsea Piers. Jack attended a friend's party late last year and loved the place.

Today, we virtually had the run of the place - which is a lot of room to run. Lots of Jack's friends - from school, camp, and birth (well, almost for Jake and Jack) - came to celebrate. Everyone seemed to have a great time. The special guests were Jack's cousins. His Uncle Jay, Auntie Cristine, Julia, Connor, Mimi, and Poppie were in town over the weekend and joined us for the party - which made it even more fun!

The kids started in the tots gym - making the most out of a huge ball pit, a trampoline ramp, and all sorts of other gym equipment. After this fun, everyone headed out to the main gym which is an all-star gymnastics facility. Today, the fun focused on a rope swing that dropped into a pit filled with foam. The kids (small and big!) had so much fun - check the videos!

Once everyone was tired out from all the playing, we went back to the party room for, you guessed it, pizza and cupcakes. But not just any cupcakes, NYC subway cupcakes. This one is all Justin. He found a bakery that customized the cupcakes to read the different subway lines (to match our subway themed party). The funny thing was that several of the kids made requests for their favorite lines! The cupcakes were delish and the icing was very colorful (check out Spencer's smile!).

Jack's birthday party concluded a busy weekend of fun with family!!

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
