Visit to Central Park/セントラル公園へ行く

Before our trip to the park we paused for some family photos using the tripod I brought home from work so we could take less fuzzy pictures.

公園に出発する前に仕事から借りてきた三脚を使って振りのない家族写真をとりました。

Anna's final weekend before going back to work we decided to take a trip across the Queensboro bridge to Central Park. We surprisingly found parking without a problem on 66th Street between Park and Lexington took our Bugaboo out of the trunk for its first trip in Manhattan and walked a couple blocks into the park at 67th Street. In the span of those couple of blocks we passed five other Bugaboos...a bit of a blow to Anna and my search for uniqueness, but at least ours was the only red one :-) We proceeded through the Central Park Zoo (the part you walk through without tickets where you can kind of get a glimpse of the sea lions) and headed to the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle to get our picnic lunch. By the time we had gotten our food Madison was ready to eat as well so we laid our sheet on a grassy spot not far into the park and had our "picnic." The bugaboo did pretty well...it was nice to be able to just pop out the bassinet and turn it around when the sun was in Madison's eyes...that was a nice feature and the thing corners like a Vet which is necessary to avoid the crowds in Manhattan. Anna says this post is not funny enough...I vow to do better in the future, so keep reading.

デイヴ：杏奈が仕事に戻る最後の週末を使ってクイーンズボロ−橋を渡ってすぐのセントラル公園に行く事にしました。思ったより簡単にパーク通りとレキシントン通りの間に駐車できたのでセントラル公園動物園の辺から入る事にしました。コロンバスサークルにあるWhole Foodsでピクニック用にお昼を買ってるとちょうどマディソンも起きてきたので公園に戻ってすぐの芝生の上でピクニックを食べました。バガブーとても役に立ちました！杏奈の言った通り！

バガブーストローラー／Bugaboo Stroller

今日、マディソン用に買ったバガブーストローラーが届いたのー！特にニューヨークでは人気のあるベビーカーなんだよ：）ちゃんとほかのベビーカーと比べてデイヴを少し説得しなきゃいけなかったけど（高いから！）やっぱデイヴは優しいから買おうって言ってくれたのー！見て！見て！可愛いでしょ！？　もちろん紫色が良かったんだけど選べる色の一つじゃなかったから赤にしたんだよ！あとこの布は洗濯できるから清潔だし２年間は保証が付いてるから心配なし：）早速いろんな所にいかなきゃ！　

Today we got a FedEx package that we've been waiting for(okay we only waited for two days)! A Bugaboo Stroller! I've been eyeing this cool stroller for a long time and after thorough research I was able to successfully present my case to my husband who of course wants what's best and trendy for his little girl and gave me an "Okay" to go ahead and purchase this fancy ride. That's right we are proud owners of a Bugaboo Frog Stroller! I will keep you updated on how great this stroller is in case you are interested in purchasing it for your own little one, but here are some pros of Bugaboo strollers...

• The fabric is washable.
• It comes with a bassinet for infants and a nice comfortable seat for toddlers and both of them are reversible to either face you or face the world!
• It is pretty cool looking and comes in pretty colors(We got Red but also comes in Black, Navy Blue, Sand, and Orange). You get more color options if you purchase Bugaboo Cameleon.
• It comes with a mosquito net and a rain cover to protect your Bugaboo Baby:-)
• Smooth ride on any surfaces. Hiking, Beach, Uneven pavement of NYC...
• The seat comes with a cute handle bar that your baby can hold on as well...
• It comes with a 2 year warranty.

**Father's Note: I have been told it will outlast three normal priced strollers, thus paying for itself by our seventh kid :-)
