Union Square - July 2020

We took the kids into Manhattan and played at Union Square park one Saturday. It was one of those absolutely dreamy NYC days- the weather was awesome, the kids made friends easily at the park, Edith successfully climbed this big dome at the playground. There was live music all day. 

After the park we walked to Madison Square Park and had Shake Shack in the park. Again, live. music. Israel watched pigeons, we had a successful ride home on the subway and Will even read a chapter of Narnia out loud to Edith. 

It also was nice because we are entering a new stage of parenting. Annie is potty trained, no one needed a stroller today. We had one backpack and one water bottle that we shared. It just seemed SIMPLE and I know that's not the case most days, but this day was just sweet and a gift to us. After a season where it has seemed like NYC has kicked our butts with the pandemic, it was nice to just ENJOY the city again.
