nyc | sailboats and slides in central park

Our last afternoon was one of our favorites moments in the city. After our morning date, we we picked up our children and went over to Central Park to sail boats on one of the ponds. We thought they were remote controlled, but it turns out you actually get to sail them. It was tricky, but we all got the hang of it after a while. The boys were in heaven playing around.

We ran out of time to go to the Central Park Zoo. Next time! Instead, we played around on the granite slide which was SO. MUCH. FUN.

And then the boys had to get some hot dogs. Of course, since we were in Central Park.

And then we walked through-- literally-- the Columbus Day parade happening on 5th Avenue :

and stopped at FAO Schwarz to play the big piano. This is the only picture I got because I was taking video instead. Blake was giddy as a school boy playing this. I'm glad we made the effort to go.
