Kiddie Pools for All

It was a hot one today. I was filling up the kiddie pool for the boys. It is very small and ideally for a baby to splash in. I use it for big bubble play but the kids wanted to sit in it to cool off. It worked. Even if it is a bit on the silly side.

Beach Season Begins

It is Memorial Day weekend and we did what 90% of people out here do is head to the beach.

The TOBAY sprinkler park opened up this weekend. The kids couldn't wait to play. I could go on for paragraphs about how much I love this park. It has something for everyone and makes it easy to have all three kids in one place. It can become a bit hectic when it is busy but it's still great.

Water Table Play- Good for Big Kids too!

We finally got around to picking up a water table for the kids. The weather has been unseasonably warm so it has turned out to be the perfect activity for the kids. It isn't always easy to find something they can all do together without getting in one another's way. All three of them enjoy it, even Leah.

Recital Weekend 2012

After a fun competition season Leah rounded out the year with a weekend full of recitals. 3 shows in 2 days. She had a great time and did beautifully. The dance teams are a great group of young ladies who are positive and work hard. They help one another out and have fun too.

Mother's Day 2012

Bailey Arboretum

There are so many places out here on Long Island that we have yet to visit. I have a growing list of things I'd like to do and fortunately the kids are totally up for it. Today we headed out to the Bailey Arboretum. It is a beautiful place, easy to walk trails. Plenty of picnic areas. They have some nice gardening, as well as perfect photo ops. The Children's Habitat leaves open a lot of creativity for the kids. They also a wildlilfe group that helps rescue and care for birds on Long Island.

We had a great visit and will be back soon. If you are out on Long Island and looking for some place to visit on the North Shore? Good place right here.

If there is a critter to be found? Chances are Leah has her hands on it.

Leah took some photos. She played around with the macro lens.
