5 Beautiful Years -- A Celebration in Central Park!

The Boys' teacher said, "don't let school get in the way of an education!"


So we didn't!


The Pond




The Seals




The Slide



Aahh yes... the slide!




Now THAT'S a SLIDE!




Wait... Did someone say 'slide'?



Yes, we played hooky today! We had to drive in to NYC (all of 20 miles) for a doctor's appointment for The Boys anyway so we seized the opportunity and the day... having lunch in The Big Apple and spending a few hours in NYC's Central Park in celebration of The Boys' 5th Birthday today! There's a lot more we wanted to do and didn't get to... but we had a bunch of fun doing just exactly what we did. Climbing on the rocks, peeking in on a few of the Zoo animals, relaxing by the pond and, most of all, sliding... sliding... and did I mention sliding?



What a beautiful day we had together! Almost as beautiful as my precious children!
