Summer in NYC

Dante has exchanged his love of swings for the slide. He's figured out how to navigate the playground maze to wherever the slide may be, climb the ladder, scoot his bum to the edge, grin very wide and wheee push his way down to open arms below. He does this endlessly now. Summer for Dante is all about play. He loves running his hands through the sand and splashing in water (especially puddles). Teresa takes him to this lovely playground on the pier near W12th street where he can point at helicopters and airplanes passing overhead, and splash his feet in the water river that meanders through the playground. Actually, the Pier 51 playground was voted the "Runner Up" as the "Best Playground Worth Traveling to" by Time-Out New York. It's really wonderful to be a kid in NYC
