D and I had a quick run over to the Long Island Children’s Museum. We were there just for a few hours. D enjoyed the tot’s play area where he got to drive an ice cream truck, bus, train, and … Continue reading Long Island Children’s Museum
D and I went to the botanical gardens to check out the holiday train show. It was impressive! All the buildings and scenery were made with things out in nature – bark, twigs, leaves, etc. There were overhead tracks so … Continue reading NY Botanical Gardens
So kind of fun, I have a Google Home on loan from work. I could test it at work, but I’d hate to interrupt my coworkers by talking to it and having it respond or playing music. It is quite … Continue reading Google Home
Some grandpa and D time together. The train was my dad’s when he was a kid. It’s a Louis and Marx & Co O gauge train (Engine 999 to get specific). Doing a quick google search shows this was a … Continue reading Thanksgiving
D had swim class today. It had been several weeks since he last swam. It looks like he not only picked up where he left off at, he was actually swimming – as in going from point A to point … Continue reading Swim Class
A couple pics from our visit to our local park this afternoon. Even though it was chilly (mid-40s-ish), the ice cream truck came by and we got ice cream. D has learned how to power his scooter, but hasn’t yet … Continue reading Hoover Park
D and I went to the Long Island Children’s Museum today. Actually managed to spend almost the entire day there and still missed seeing a handful of exhibits. The primary objective was bubbles. D made bubbles and had fun watching … Continue reading Long Island Children’s Museum
McDonald’s, not very exciting… It was meant as a quick snack. This ended up being D’s first happy meal. It was fun sharing some fast food together. Continue reading First Happy Meal
So weather wasn’t the greatest. It worked to our advantage and the place was pretty empty of people. It turns out the farm is just over 6 miles from our apartment. It has enough property and trees that you can … Continue reading Queens County Farm
We went to the park today! D wasn’t feeling 100% today so he wasn’t too active today. Plus it was a bit chilly out. We arrived at the park right when the ice cream truck came by. We’re on practically … Continue reading Hoover Park

Took D to the park today. Here he is hanging out with his friends playing with some leftover birthday party favors. Later on, he slid down a horribly slow slide. They all had fun though. Continue reading To the Park!
Olessia planned a Halloween party for our apartment but ended up just being the families on our floor. It was nice. The kids who visited are all around D’s age. They had fun playing with his toys and eating candy. … Continue reading Happy Halloween!

For the second half of the day, we took D to White Post Farms to check out the animals. We saw goats, camels, sheep, zebras, birds, pigs, monkeys, and more. A good time was had! D had his first pony … Continue reading White Post Farms
We went apple picking today. We ate amazing apple cider donuts. Then we went to the orchards. D ran between trees, picked apples, ate apples, and had a lot of giggling. We came home with a pumpkin, apple butter, and … Continue reading Apple Picking
This park takes a bit more effort to get to. It was a nice change up from our regular parks. I think D had a good time exploring, playing in the leaves, and simply running around. We did live a … Continue reading At the park today
