About that park

Shortly after we moved into this new apartment, we mentioned the park that's across the street from our building, that we can see from our windows and that we imagined would look beautiful in the summer. Well, we're a month into summer now, so it's about time we confirm that, yes, the park - Washington Square Park - really is beautiful.


Today it was the setting for the Bughouse Square Debates, a series of soapbox speeches celebrating the First Amendment and part of the neighboring Newberry Library's annual book fair. The festivities also included kids' yoga this morning, and Levynn enjoyed that. She knew most of the positions, thanks to the Wii Fit and the book "My Daddy is a Pretzel."


After naptime this afternoon, Dad and the kids wandered into the library to browse the book sale, which is humongous. We bought five children's books for $5.50, an experience that convinced Dad and Mom to return for their own interests tomorrow!
