Oliver really wanted a day trip into the city. So we went!
First stop: the Papaya Dog outside the Port Authority, on 9th. Not a bad sweet treat for $1.50.
We headed uptown to meet Kevin and run around Lincoln Center. Huge fountain! Large sculptures, perfect for playing tag!
Then a great lunch at this amazing Mediterranean place, where Oliver had organic raw veggies, hummus, and warm pita. Kev and I had some kind of farro-tahini plate that was damn good.
We then took the subway downtown to meet up with my cousin Jen and her boys, Benjamin and Barron, at the Children's Museum of Art.
Oliver was excited to see the music/headphones exhibit that was in this part of the museum the last time we went... but wasn't too disappointed when he saw that they'd totally changed it up, and now huge sheets of clear plastic were hanging from the ceiling. Which of course means that you have to run through them.
The room with the enormous exercise balls is always a hit.
As was this thing! I've never seen one that was so big. I'm telling you, it totally looks like one of those ultrasound pictures you get of your baby at 20 weeks!
He learned about what a chimera is and then made his own out of clay. He wanted to create a half snake, half caterpillar. And he did. Complete with googly eyes.
The return trip (express bus = 1.5 hr commute = yeeessss!) always requires a late-day nap.
