Roller Skating

Roller Skating

Next on the list of things to do was roller skating. There is a roller rink on Pier 4 of Brooklyn Bridge Park and it’s free admission at 10am on Sundays (you just pay for skate rentals). The kids were troopers – it was super slippery on the surface and they never gave up!

Remembering September 11, 2001

We generally don’t take the kids out after the sun has set … perhaps being cooped up for so long with COVID has made us a big more willing to go outdoors … we decided to head out to show the kids the memorial lights over World Trade Center this year and explained to them what happened to the Twin Towers. It was a beautiful, clear night and we will always remember.

Daddy took the kids rock climbing underneath the Manhattan Bridge for the first time. They are such naturals and they loved it!

Hiking Turkey Mountain

Hiking Turkey Mountain

Hiking solo with the kids – what an adventure! And this was certainly a steeper hike than the one we did on Bear Mountain. Total mileage around 3 miles – this was a tough one for them and they did so well! So proud of you!! XO

A little drama along the way where we lost Chloe’s stowaway stuffed animal… but as the children told EVERY SINGLE PERSON that passed that we had lost Slimey, a wonderful samaritan found him and left him for us at the entrance of the hike.
Quick pit stop at Croton Dam – will have to hike this next time and bring Daddy
