Play date with new friends!

We had a busy and long morning meeting lots of new KPMG moms and friends! (In total there was, myself, Mary, Mary, Ashley, Jen, Beth, Heather, Heather and Kelly and all of our kids.) :)

We met at a play ground in CP called Diana Ross on 81st and Central Park West.  They had a fun summer time dance demonstration with some funky african dance.  Of course my kids were the least bit interested in the dance and wanted to swing and play in the sandbox instead.

After about 2 hours of playing at the play ground we decided a picnic style lunch overlooking Belvedere Castle.  It was an overcast day with some sprinkling of rain.  We didn't mind as the tall trees provided some shelter to all of us.  After lunch, the kids ran and ran and ran circles around us and played tag and explored the area we had all to ourselves.  They even went turtle watching at the pond and found quite a few turtles that amused them for a good 45 mins. 

After another 2 hours of running around both kids fell into a deep sleep on the walk back home!
Looking forward to many more of these! A few days afterward and my phone was still blowing up with texts and emails!  It's hard keeping up with all these girlfriends, but it sure is fun!!

Only a few kids in this pic.
