The kids ran around a lot. We are big playground explorers in New York. But as for me, I meandered. And I ate. And I ate a little more.<\/p>\n<p>(And come someone explain this phenomenon to me? No matter how much sidewalk there is&#8211;note the photo below&#8211;my son is compelled to walk in the plantings. This happens on the walk home from school when the sides are covered in snow, in the rainy season when there&#8217;s mud in the side patches, in gardens where there are fresh fragile plantings, in the streets where there&#8217;s plenty of traffic. No matter how much I yell at him to get back on the sidewalk, he gravitates toward the sides. This photo was snapped right after I told him to get out of the newly budding tulips.)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/Jenny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4364.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[2445]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/Jenny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4364-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4364\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/Jenny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4364-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/Jenny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4364-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So the food intake hasn&#8217;t been great.
