Lolly and Pops visit

Lolly and Pops (my parents) got to spend a week with us visiting the baby. It was so fun and we all got to get out of the house a surprising amount. First we attempted to go apple/pumpkin picking, but because of rain, we apparently needed four wheel drive just to get to the parking lot for the place, so we ended up turning around and spending the afternoon in the little artisan village thing nearby. We forced the baby to take pictures next to a pumpkin and we finally got a picture with all three of us!





Next, we went into the city (sans Derek, who had to go to class) and ate at Serendipity 3, spent some time in Dylan’s Candy Bar, took a cab ride down to Madison Square Park where we had a yummy waffle, and then finished the day exploring Eatly. I can’t find this adorable jacket anymore and I’m so angry because she only wore it once and I love this outfit.

You can see all the Tiffany glass/lamps in the background.

Not sure what to think about the famous frozen hot chocolate. The rest of enjoyed it, though it gave us all a major brain freeze.

Also saw a makeshift memorial to Steve Jobs outside the 5th avenue Apple store



We spent a couple of days just hanging around the house…it looked like this most of the time:


On Friday we took the baby on her first trip to the zoo! It was probably more exciting for me than her but I really had a nice day.  Good weather, the baby was in a decent mood (well…some of the day), and we got to finish the day at Arthur Ave eating good food and of course, a cannoli.



A family of tigers!





We tried to take her on the bug carousel, but she was pretty exhausted at that point and did not enjoy anything.
 
Daddy saying …now calm down and enjoy riding on this bug!

So not pleased.
Here are some random pictures from the rest of the trip









Now I couldn’t pick just one, so here are like 5 identical pictures






We miss  you Lolly ‘n Pops!!
