Park Play Time

I never realized how much more fun it is to know other parents at the park! In NYC, there are plenty of others around, but they are not long-time friends. And, apparently, there aren't as many kids that frequent this park as we were the only ones there (a rare occurence in NYC-even the smaller parks).



On Monday afternoon, we spent some time with the Kachelmyers (this time Nate got to join us). And the "rainy Monday" that was forcasted, turned out to be a gorgeous (yet midwest humid) 65 or so. Once Claire woke up from her nap, and while Q decided she didn't need a nap, we went to the park down the block from their house.





Nikki and Quinn on the swings (the photo Nikki was taking here is on her blog).














Nikki and Q ... doing something.

Claire was more facinated with the "super duper ant" (her words, honestly!) than the play equipment. Nikki's not lying when she says her girl likes bugs! About 30 seconds after this photo, the any was crawling all over her fingers...should've shot a video, it was "super duper" cute!

Nate and Q climbing the stairs of the gym.

Q'S CLIMGING STAIRS ON HER OWN NOW!!!!

Claire at the top of the slide not wanting to go down because "ouch, I get shock" (as Nate said as he went down earlier...).

You can just see her anticipation of being shocked...not a look of pure enjoyment... :-)
