Passover and Spring in White Plains

Last weekend, we were down in White Plains for Passover.  We had two lovely seders and it was awesome to see Finley and Dagny so much more aware of the story, songs, and traditions of this holiday.  Finley brought the parsley he'd grown in his class for the seder plate, both kids sang their favorite Passover songs from school, and Dagny ate more matzah than just about anyone.
They were able to stay up late and help us finish the seder by finding the afikomen both nights.  And lucky for them, they were handsomely rewarded both evenings by gifts from GG and Grandpa's trip to London and from Aunt Linda as well!

On the morning of our departure, we ventured into the nearly springlike weather to enjoy one of our favorite NY parks.

Then, we wandered over to the baseball field where everyone got to show off their skills.  First, Grandpa was on the mound, Finley at bat, Dan was the catcher, and the girls were in the field.

Despite it being FOREVER since Finley had played ball, he was hitting home runs left and right!  Grandpa adjusted his well-honed softball skills to find Finley's strike zone and they both had a blast!  Then, it was Dags' turn to hit.
 While she was inexperienced, her enthusiasm was quite impressive! We walked around the harbor and back to the playground for a few more minutes before heading back for lunch at GG and Grandpa's.  Finally, we said our goodbyes and headed home.
I love quiet car rides :)
