First snow, Basketball, and more snow

By
We got out a bit yesterday to enjoy our first snow of the season. We headed to Central Park and found just enough snow to have some fun.








The sun peaked through for just a few minutes right at sunset. This picture doesn't begin to capture the pinks and purples in the sky.


Now for basketball...Sunday we all headed down to the Village for the University of Chicago vs. NYU basketball game. The game was fun - tightly contested first half, then NYU took the lead for good with about 11 minutes to go in the 2nd. We saw lots of 3-pointers (and lots of questionable fouls). All in all lots of fun. I also learned that not all college games have official timeouts....



Now the more snow part. We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Winter Storm Juno. After the game today, Jack and I ran all over the Upper Westside looking for snow pants for him. I'm happy to say we found something. Now the boys will be ready to play in what I hope will be a good amount of lovely snow. If this happens (and I am home) there will be many pictures.

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 ...
