It was so wonderful to spend time at the Park with some dear friends and their families. Jane and her mom were there, also not skating. Unfortunately it was too crowded for us to be able to chat and catch up comfortably. After soaking up the sun, watching the sights, they were off to refresh and bask at Lord & Taylor and then deal with crowds in other parts of the City.
Most of the day's enjoyment was due to watching Tammy and her kids J & J go skating. As is usual with getting together with Tammy, it's a matter of hoping and praying that there is a hole in the kids' very over-extended weekend schedule of activities. I heard that they actually voted to skip basketball and other parties to come in and go skating! Excellent. (Also excellent, having a designated "extra" adult to carry the bags, take the picture, and tag-team the kids. Wow they are quick darting around and under and between legs.)
I think this excursion went a little better than our last one to the Botanical Gardens. It was less hot, the kids were more involved, and it involved all the chips, cocoa, and cookies they could eat BEFORE we headed back to Two Boots in Grand Central for pizza and pasta.
Here's a little photo montage of the day from my perspective. I thought it was important for me to document Tammy doing things with the kids. She needs to be in the pictures too!
