Our plan was to NOT have a plan!

I've always been a planner, thinking that when I'm organized and have a plan everything will go smoothly and I'll be prepared.  We planned ahead with both of our kids, finding out what sex they will be, we plan our vacations in detail, have an extensively detailed budget, super organized closets, etc.  BUT, sometimes I throw caution into the wind and just GO!  It's amazing what you discover just by walking and not having any rhyme or reason as to which direction you go in.  Today was one of those days, we took a leisurely walk through Central Park this morning to burn off some of Mikey's energy and to enjoy the beautiful weather. 

We came across some beautiful statutes (furture blog), boats that you can rent at "Conservation Water" (it's near the alice in wonderland statue and the boat house), the Metropolitian Museum of Art and a new park to play at. 

We started off our day properly, spending 30 minutes swinging!

Katie loves to swing slowly!

Mikey loves to swing as high as you can get him!

Mikey pushing Katie!

Momma and Miss Katie!

Walking around the "Great Lawn" with midtown in the background.  This view always makes me ponder what the kids will be when they grow up.  The world truly is their oyster.

Posing at the Conservation Water.  He was wild running around and could have easily fallen in with one misstep or trip but he did good and didn't get too close or peer over the ledge. 

To get this photo I pretended I was a donkey and loudly said "Hee-Haw" so he would look at me.

There wer lots of boats on the water by the time we left.

A new park on 72nd street in CP.  Not a huge fan as it's 90% sand.

Weee, down the slide.

Mikey found a pole to slide down, just like the firemen do!

He still loves to wear his hat!

Metropolitian Museum of Art on 5th Ave from 80th to about 85th Street.  So far my favorite street that I've discovered is at 82nd between 5th Ave and Madison. The architecture is just amazing.
