lenox, ma

i spent four days in lenox, massachusetts. the parents went skiing with toby and simone and i stayed with naomi and the grandparents at their house. unfortunately was the weather not always good, but at least we got a chance to make our snow-teddy :)

hahaha daddy, you will like this one :D

we came back on tuesday - a day up to 80 degrees (ca. 27 grad celsius) in nyc!!!
when i went to prospect park with toby and simone on wednesday i got my first sunburn this year!!! strange enough, that i have a cold and sunburn at the same time xD
in the evening we had a cluster meeting where we wrapped easter presents for homeless mothers and children :)

wednesday 03-21

on wednesday was ilka-day :) she is usually free on wednesday afternoons and evenings. this time we went to see the famous broadway show beauty and the beast (die schoene und das biest). we enjoyed it so much! the stage was gorgeous and the special effects just amazing! WOW!!!

afterwards we went to toys'r'rus and took the ferris wheel :D was a really funny time - even if we wanted the m&m car but ended up in the barbie car!! can you believe it? :'-( but still, we had a very nice (and childish) day :P

nevele hotel

i stayed with my hostfamily approx 100 miles upstate last weekend. they organized a synagogue meeting and needed me for some babysitting. the hotel had a gym, a pool, ice skating rink... and it was really crowded: karate/judo meeting, high school graduation trips, normal guests and our synagogue meeting...
i shared a room with all the kids but they were really easy going :)

ice skating rink (not really one of the best ones i've seen...)

i spent sunday morning on the moonwalk stuff... first with toby and simone and fighting with the highschool guys later was quite fun - and i wasn't bad at all ;) hehe

bronx zoo

on wednesday after childcare i went to the bronx zoo with ilka. its not exactly what i am used to from germany regarding the size.. but was quiet fun, even if we didn't see the main attraction, the gorillas (cause they just weren't there :-/)
my favorite part was the baby giraffe (4 months) - amazing how tall she was... but scary how small their "cage" was!

wednesday mornings in childcare

childcare job in my gym on wednesday morning :) (i get my free membership for that!)
