Wandering Weekend

Today was a gorgeous day!  Truly the type of fall weather us Muir's have been waiting for.  We typically spend our Saturday mornings going for a nice stroll and this morning was no different. With a high of 75 for the day we bundled the kids up in the early morning and headed for Central Park. 

We walked with no rhyme or reason and ended up walking from our place on 90th and entered CP at 79th.  We walked past the grandstand that was being set up for the German Parade and past the good old Alice in Wonderland Statue.  Continuing our way thru Central Park Zoo. 

We all got to stretch our legs during this walk, including Mikey and Katie.  It's so much fun to watch Mikey and especially Katie get to roam freely. Typically Mikey runs (not walks) everywhere and Katie can't make up her mind and ends up going in circles. 

We ended up going to FAO Schwarz and were one of the first families thru the door.  It was so nice to enjoy all the toys without crowds of people.  Mikey and Daddy spent their time looking at trucks and trains and Katie and I went on the Big Piano and looked at dolls.  This was Katie's first time on the Big Piano since learning to walk and she had the entire piano to herself for about 2 minutes!

The kids passed out during our walk back home.  We stopped for lunch at Big Daddy's (thanks for the suggestion friends!) and happily munched on our food while the kids slept in the stroller.  An exhausting morning but a great one for the kids and Scott and I.  Love days like today in the city!

Good morning Plaza!

Lots of zoo animals to greet us at the toy store!

We loved the fact that no one was here.

Running down the ramp.  He actually stopped to tell me to "come on, Mommy."

Big Piano for such a little girl.

She loved to watch the keys light up.

The love the fire truck wall. 

"Baby, Baby, Baby" was what she said.
