Playtime

I realized the other day that I hardly ever just take pictures of Caroline hanging out and playing around the house. So today while she was doing her thing in the playroom, I started snapping away...
Wondering where Prince Charmings is :)
Busting a move
Playing with her blocks


Reading her book
And over in her bedroom, reading another book
Back in the playroom, hamming it up for the camera :)

Such a sweetie

Mt. Gretna

This past weekend, Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, and Caroline spent some time in Mt. Gretna.

First we walked around to a few different porch sales. (Gigi, Caroline, Daddy)
Then we played at the playground.

Playing in Puddles

Today Caroline and Mommy headed over to Mimi and Poppop's to spend this gorgeous day playing outside in their yard. Their yard is full of the most beautiful flowers, but all Caroline really wanted to do...play in the puddles :)

Caroline in the City

Yesterday we went to visit Ben and Kacey in New York City. We seriously had the best day and we can't wait to go back and visit again!

After getting a tour of Ben and Kacey's apartment, we headed out to a great little sandwich shop to pick up lunch (on the way we spotted a celebrity - Christine Baransky!!). But instead of eating at the restaurant, we decided to picnic in Central Park. The weather turned out to be perfect and the sandwiches were delicious!




After lunch, we headed to the Central Park Zoo. It was such a cute and fun place! First we checked out the seals. Here are Caroline, Daddy, and Kacey looking for them under the water.
Then we went into the "rain forest". It definitely felt like a rain forest in there and the birds flying at our heads made it feel even more realistic.

Then we went to check out some monkeys. They were so cool!

Then to Caroline's favorite part of the Zoo - the penguins. She couldn't stop pointing and laughing.
After visiting the polar bear, we decided to go back to the seals to watch them get fed. Here is Caroline clapping for the seals :)
Then we headed to the petting zoo. Caroline could have stayed here all day.
After we pulled her away from the bunnies, we actually got to feed some animals. Caroline was SO brave. She just ran right up and stuck her hands in.


Here she is trying to give the goat a kiss :)

After the zoo, we hit up FAO Swartz (poor Caroline slept through this part), Jamba Juice (we wanted to go to the places that New Yorkers frequent), and Mommy and Kacey tried out some cupcakes from an award winning bakery.
Then we finally got to meet up with Ben, who had to work all afternoon. We all went out to dinner at a great pizza place. The pizza was SO good!


And finally, here are a couple cute videos from the day.
