Big Apple Circus

In November, I had the pleasure of joining Spencer with his preschool for the Big Apple Circus.

For those folks not in NYC (which is probably almost everyone reading this), the Big Apple Circus has become something of an institution for the under 10 set in Manhattan. Or perhaps the parents of the under 10 set.

The circus is held under a real tent at Lincoln Center. The tent is nice, but it's actually a tent and it's set up each fall for a couple of months. In fact, one of the tents may be the same one used for NYC fashion week.

The show is very cute - catering perfectly to the audience: there are contortionists, all sorts of jugglers, dogs that do tricks, magicians with various slight of hand tricks, trapeze artists, and various other animals.

We sat next to Spencer's friend Nicholas. The two of them shared a tub of popcorn that they probably could have sat in. All in all, everyone had fun.

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
