Hanging with Mr. Cool

We had a day to get things done. Andrew and I picked up the yearly gift from work. A kosher turkey. Then we ran over to my parent’s house to put the finishing touches on the annual Christmas Letter. I set it up to print to the paper that my parents want to use. Formatting the text is my job on Christmas Letter detail. We got that together quickly and then headed back home, along with Dad to put up the Christmas Tree.

Andrew and I spent the rest of the day hanging around the house while I cleaned things up and went through the Christmas decorations. However, it was such a nice day that I decided to take Andrew over to Capron Park. He loves playing at the playground and he didn’t get to go to Playgroup today and that meant no outside playground time. So, we walked over to the park together and played on the playground then went inside to see the animals in the zoo. Continue reading At Capron Park, Hanging with Mr. Cool

Piggyback Rider Prepping

I took Andrew over to Capron Park Zoo today. I took him using the Piggyback Rider. We’re going to go down to New York City next week for a Skylanders event and I don’t want to have to take the stroller and there is no way he’s going to walk around the city the whole time. With the Piggyback Rider I am hoping that he will be able to stand on the bar as I walk about a mile over to the place where the event will be. I don’t think we’ll do a lot of extra exploring this time around.

He did pretty well with the Piggyback Rider. He didn’t attempt to step off the bar like he’s done in the past. He made it over to the zoo with no problem but on the way home he mentioned that his legs were hurting. We did make it all the way home, however. I think that he’ll enjoy the Piggyback Rider on our trip, we are going to go super light this time. I won’t be taking my camera but I did get a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus phone from the imagelogger program and I’ll use that as my primary camera and recording device for this trip. So, two phones, change of clothes for Andrew, the piggyback rider and some snacks. Gotta have snacks for the train. I’m looking forward to this trip. It should be a lot of fun.
