We were wandering around Crown Heights, waiting for Adi to wake up so we could go home on the bus. But she slept on, and we walked on. Soon enough we reached Prospect Park, but not any old part of it...
It was more wonderful than you can imagine. I mean, fish? Turtles? The boys are never leaving this place!
There were wondrous photo opportunities for me. That made me almost as happy as the turtles made the kids!
Next time we go I hope to be able to take better photos. I was so tired and not in the mood of getting it *just* right. The kids were tired and not in the mood of anything but running in circles and trying to climb over the fence and into the pond.
So these are mostly just snapshots, but they are good memories of that day!
And while the kids didn't succeed in climbing over the fence and into the pond, they did get that longing satisfied with a perfectly splashable stream!
I look at this picture and I feel so sad that my kids have to grow up in the city. Visiting this picturesque spot is nice and all, but how sublime would it be to have it all surrounding you every day!
Extra points for making it over the stream in just one step!
But on Adi's scoreboard, the more water your body comes in contact with, the more you win. :)
Gedalya is a natural at lovely poses. He's always been.
A feast for my eyes... all you mothers who have kids close in age will know what I mean. :)
Oh yeah, the plants. With my two ounces of strength I did take some photos of *plants*. It is Botanical Gardens, and it would be treacherous to go out without a photo of flowers.
I can't believe I never thought of taking the kids there before. I guess I didn't realize how much they'd love it. We'll be back, for sure!
