I previously posted about one of my favorite secret parks in our neighborhood, Teardrop Park. Another one is the Elevated Acre. It is a wide open space for Lyla to run and play, without having to worry about her disappearing out of my field of view. It also has a terrific view of the East River and Brooklyn Bridge.
Taking some time to enjoy the view...
And, she's off...
We went to the Elevated Acre a few weeks ago on an unseasonably -- and unreasonably -- hot October afternoon to run around, smell the flowers, blow bubbles and play baseball.
Poor thing -- look at her overheated little face.
We escaped the heat at the New Amsterdam Market for lunch. The market, at the Fulton Fish Market down the block from our apartment, has a great selection of local products and delicious food.
Mark loved his bloody mary BLT.
We finished our day at the Taste of the Seaport. How great is our neighborhood to have all of these options a stone's throw from home?
Lately, our weekends seem to involve face painting in some form or another. This was no exception. We've gotten pretty picky about our face painters and decided that this was sub-par, but Lyla didn't mind. The face painter finished without putting any glitter on Lyla's face (see previous post on recent glitter obsession). Lyla was not pleased and said "wait, I need sprinkles."
And just because she is so cute...
