Easter Brunch in NYC

Today we went to Manhattan to have Easter Brunch with Grandpa George & Grandma Ruth. We went to a restaurant called Opia.

Leah posed for some photos before heading out.


Attempted to get a photo of Leah and Louis. This was as close as we got.


We got a great seating at the restaurant right out on the balcony.


The restaurant had a room set up for kids to play in with a face painter, Easter Egg hunt and other goodies.



Waiting to have her face painted.


Not your ordinary run of the mill face painter.



Leah loved it!



Zombie eh?

Tea Time with Leah

We went to Manhattan today. Leah, Louis and myself. We took the LIRR to Penn Station and headed uptown to Alice's Tea Cup-Chapter I for brunch. The meal was delicious and Leah enjoyed being there.







After brunch we walked up to the American Museum of Natural History.

Leah spent nearly 3 hours on the 4th floor going through the exhibits one by one. She was very curious about the different geological eras & the common ancestors among living animals.









We met my friend Jasmine & her newborn baby boy Ethan on the 4th floor. We walked through the rest of the museum and visited the minerals & rocks last. Leah's favorite. She is showing a great interest in all things geological. She has always liked playing in the dirt :)





After the museum we walked around and bought dinner at the Shake Shack at Columbus & 77th Street. We took our food over to Central Park and ate it on a bunch by the lake. After eating Jasmine & baby Ethan went off to go shoe shopping. Leah wanted to stay a bit longer so we went to one of the playgrounds so she could running around.

Around 7 in the evening it was time to head home.

A good time was had by all.

Birthday Brunch

Today we went to Four for brunch to celebrate Ruth's birthday.

The place is awesome. If you haven't been there-go! Great food, good drinks-lots of fun. Leah could have done without the weird bald guy on stilts but other than it was really nice.
