Outdoor Activities

On Saturday, we had no plans and ended up being very relaxed at home. We kept half-heartedly suggesting going somewhere but instead we kept taking catnaps and dozing and watching TV. Finally around 5:00 we decided to get outside while it was still sunny and went to one of the nearby playgrounds that is particularly toddler-friendly. The parks, pools, and playgrounds are absolutely my favorite thing about living in Westchester.





Peek-a-boo! Avery's new word is "Ding-Dong!" and he said it about 100 times this weekend!


We FINALLY made it to Greenburgh Nature Center which is only a 10-minute drive away from home! It is lovely: there are large grounds with some outdoor animals and hiking trails, picnic areas, and grassy areas for kids to run around, as well as an "Animal Museum" which has a couple of small rooms with animals: birds, snakes, ferrets, turtles, tarantulas, etc. The employees will take out the animals for you to touch if you want, and Avery got to pet a snake and a turtle! It's a great place, and I'm so glad we finally made it there:
