Feeding Ducks in Nyack and Visiting Friends in Riverdale

This morning, Mommy searched for something to do and didn't find anything, so decided to try Nyack- a little town right over the Tappan Zee Bridge. While nothing seemed opened in the village, Mommy had read about the park.

It was lovely! Clara and Emma got to feed ducks for the first time (and thanks to the kind families that shared their bread with the kids). They learned how to rip bread and throw it. They tried it at two different points along the water- the second point, they were literally standing right next to the ducks!

Then, it was off the the playground. And, of course, Mommy saw friend Rachel, her husband Gui and their daughter Sonya. It is a nice, contained playground with equipment appropriate for toddlers!

After returning home, the ladies ate lunch and a took a nap. Mommy put the ladies in dresses for the first time this summer (and yes, barrettes, which they actually left in). But, these dresses didn't have bloomers and Mommy didn't put on little shorts over the diaper. Lesson learned. Mommy went to get Clara from her nap and Clara was standing there, holding her diaper, with a big grin on, and very wet sheets. Oh well. A new outfit and new sheets were required!

In the afternoon, the gang headed to Riverdale to see friends Bilha and David and their daughter Michal (Mommy's friend), in from Maryland. It was so nice to see them and meet Bilha's sister and her family! And, a special treat- Daddy got to watch the soccer game. Clara and Emma loved the apples and cookies they got as a snack too. They also got to color
