Fun outside the city!

Sometimes New Yorkers get stuck in our little city bubble, refusing to leave the boundaries of Manhattan or even our own neighborhood out of sheer convenience. 

Today we busted out of our routine, packed up the car an dogs and ventured out of the city, a whole hour away. 

Our day started by going to Saxon Woods Preserve in Mount Vernon, NY and hit the hiking trails. We found a great easy 4-mile loop and hiked for about 2 hours. The dogs loved it!  Sirius led the pack while Archie, a total gentleman, would run from the front to the back to keep checking on me. The babies must've wanted to join the fun because I kept feeling their little feet hiking all over my belly.

Picture Perfect Hike

After we finished the loop, we headed over to our friends', Jeff and Christine, new home to meet their baby, Elon.  It was so nice to drive around and see the beautiful houses in a 'normal' neighborhoods (another thing that New Yorkers don't see a lot of). Elon was the happiest little guy with such a charming smile!  And with the busiest little feet. He would hold my little hands, stand up and just bounce!  I'm still trying to figure out how I'll play similar games with 2 little babies... Maybe I can grow another set of arms??

 And since the dogs were with us, they got to meet baby Elon, too!  It's was super cute to see them all staring at each other with such friendly curiosity. Funnily enough, Archie was the biggest baby and cried most of the time. 

"Whoa. He's big". "Whoa. He's little". 

Happy baby!!!!
