Out and about during the winter months

Winter of 2014 was cold so we were indoors way more than we wanted to be. When the weather was nearly tolerable we hustled out and enjoyed the city and a break from our apartment.

Jaime had a weekly music class so we would bundle up and brave the weather to sing "Taxi" and play with instruments. The kids were tucked into the respective bundling gear and I would enjoy the little walk.

The morning of one particularly big snow storm I snuck in a muffin and coffee date with my little man before the snow was too heavy to get out.

The museum was visited many many times. Both Dan and I took Jaime for some solo kid time. I also took the two of them by myself for a visit and we went as a family a couple of times. Good thing there is a lot to see. And we only last about an hour.

If the weather was super nasty, the neighborhood grocery store or bodega might be the outting for the day. Jaime really loves those little trips though as the stroller can stay home so he gets to be a big kid walking the whole time.

On the rare day we would be able to do a nice walk in the park and check out the winter wonderland.

One day we braved the cold to head down to Chelsea Piers to check out the toddler fun room. Jaime loved the ball pit and the obstacle course stuff. Ellie slept like a dream the whole time.

We headed to Midtown East to check out the Sony Wonder Technology Lab. It was pretty neat but honestly Jaime will enjoy it more in a few years.

It was a tough winter due to the cold but we tried to get out and about as much as we could. Jaime had a very warm parka and was tucked into a sleeping bag that sits on the stroller seat with fleece lined jeans and big warm sweaters and fleece lined hats. Ellie was in her little sherpa bear suit and tucked into a little cocoon (seriously, the product name is cocoon but looked like a mini bassinet thing) for infants that completely blocked the wind and kept her toasty warm. These little snippets are mostly from February but January might have snuck in there.
