Saturday in the City


Halloween weekend was a busy one and Saturday was no exception. Friends of ours, Jen and Paul Enderson, from Knoxville were in town for the NYC marathon and we decided to go visit with them on Saturday. Kerry and Paul hung out while Jen and I took the kids to Central Park. Reagan has so much fun playing and watching the other kids, she didn't want to leave. She got to go down a slide for the first time, but her favorite part was trying to climb back up it. She could not stop grinning. After a while we decided to go on the swings. After the swings Reagan wanted to play in the sand and kept trying to give handfuls to me and of course eventually eat it. After we had a discussion about how "sand is not for eating" we went to find our friends and went to lunch.

After lunch we decided to go to FAO Schwartz. What were we thinking on a busy Saturday? It was hot, crowded and complete chaos...Reagan LOVED it! As we approached the store I tried to get her to take a picture with the "toy soldier" outside, but no luck. She didn't seem to really trust him and kept her distance. Once we were inside and came up with a game plan, she kept wandering up to a doll display and grabbing the dolls and hugging them, while tearing the entire display apart (I should know better than to let her out of the stroller). And of course Mommy the sucker had to buy her one. Every little kid needs a treat from their first trip to FAO Schwartz, don't they?

While in the toy store, Reagan finally collapsed asleep in her stroller and we headed back to the car. What a great day, it was good to see friends and watch Reagan have so much fun.
