Adventure Time

The only good thing about the kids being home from school is that you can do fun things during the week. We went to a park in Hoboken on Monday. This park in on a man-made island between New Jersey and Manhattan, it's awesome! I felt like Peter Pan and the lost boys playing in Neverland!


I climbed to the top of the slide because I had to get these pictures.... 

Best views of Manhattan :)

Then we walked across the street from the park to a restaurant, Little Town, it was so good! The kids got corndogs and cheeseburgers and I got everything bagel breaded chicken fingers, you got me at everything bagel, super delicious. The kids wanted to get shots of milk but I had to say no ;)


While we waited for the food (the worst part about taking kids to a restaurant) we played Skee-Ball!! 

  
Then on Tuesday Dylan and I went to Brooklyn :) everytime I'm in Brooklyn I have to go to my favorite pizza place in my old neighborhood, Carmine's. 


It is the most perfect pizza ever....


I definitely ate 3 slices before getting back to New Jersey.... Oops :-/
While we waited for the pizza Dylan got to ride the pink pony..


I miss living in Brooklyn sometimes but it's nice to still be close.

Emu, Buffalo and Deer, Oh My!!

What a weekend! My friends that live in Colorado were visiting so that was super fun!! My kids had so much fun playing with their son. I actually think my kids behaved better with him around. HA.
On Thursday we all drove back to my home town of Mechanicsburg, PA to go to Jubilee Day. It's a day long fair on the Main Street. There is good food, art and crafts and rides for the kids. We all had so much fun! 


Obviously Logan wanted JoJo's pizza. 


Then on Friday we went to Lake Tobias.
Except that its not an actual lake that you can swim in. The name is totally misleading. Hahaha. It's actually a safari type zoo. You get on a big bus and they drive you all over the 200+ acre land. And the best part is, you can feed the animals!!!! They are so used to people feeding them that they just come up when the buses rolls up.


I think I had more fun then the kids did. 


It was a good time. 


And on Sunday we went to the beach. I mean, where else would you go with your family when you live in New Jersey?!? We live about an hour away from Sea Bright and Sandy Hook National Park and it is very beautiful there. It's sad to drive down the main road, Highway 36, and seeing all the houses that are still damaged by storm Sandy. Half of the houses are rebuilt but the others have a long way to go. I love going to the beach and I know we will be back a lot this summer.
