Kiddie Park

Friday I worked almost ten hours, had some pizza on 8th avenue after work, and bought shorts to prepare for this nice weather at what I think was a 24 hr Gap in Times Square. I love that this city doesn’t sleep!

This morning I got up and headed to Gantry Plaza State Park, LIC to volunteer at my church’s first annual Easter egg hunt. Jen’s family drove down from White Plains for the event and I got to show them around LIC and grab some lunch (pic). I think Lisa had fun. They gave me an Easter gift, some of which came from Florida, and a ride home. Very thoughtful, thank you!

At the event we were expecting around 100 but probably had double that come out. It was pretty well organized for a first with games, prizes, crafts, face painting, and pictures with our ex-Disney princess Brooklyn as the Easter bunny. What was really nice was that the kid’s pics with the bunny and skyline behind them were printed and laid out for families to pick up on their way out. Everything was free and hopefully a few of those families show up to church tomorrow.

Other than coming home late to lots of homework, today was great. I regret not taking pictures at the park but will ask for a few in the morning.

Tomorrow afternoon I hope to pick up a used Crate & Barrel leaning desk I found on craigslist… just waiting on an email and details. Work tomorrow night.

Happy Easter!
