Weekend in the Bronx (kind of)

Sorry for all of the posts at one time! After this I'm all caught up on pictures. I'm lucky Chris is taking a super long nap today.

A friend of ours had a run in her hometown a couple of weekends ago. It was a short train ride away, so we decided to go. Chris loves taking the train!

While it doesn't look like it here, he seemed to enjoy our walk (no way were we running with a stroller up those hills!). The town was just passed the Bronx and adorable. It had a cute town square and everything.

After the walk we found the nearby lake so Conan could go fish (we think legally :-) ). Christopher found the ducks. He loved looking at them in the water.

Then, the geese came out to see him. He was so excited to see the babies, until they came a little too close. I was surprised, but they came right up beside him. (No pictures of that, I had to rescue him!). He still asks about them, "Mommy, Daddy, baby ducks?".

The LG napped in the stroller while I walked him around the town and then we hopped on the train to go home. Until, the train stopped at the Botanical Gardens and we abruptly decided we needed to get off.

They had an adorable children's garden there. There were lots of cool plant structures like this one.

But Christopher was the most excited about the letters and blocks everywhere.

Chris just wasn't sure why he couldn't take the letters.

Success! He got out a little t. I'm not sure if you can see his face from behind the plant, but there was a major meltdown when Dad said no stealing letters from the Botanical Garden.

The nice ladies there talked me into getting a season pass there, and I talked my sweet husband into it, so you should be seeing lots of Botanical Gardens pictures from us this year.
