We took a trip downtown and headed to South Street Seaport. This is a fun little village, it feels like you have stepped out of the city when you are down there. Olivia enjoyed all of the big old ships.
I stepped away from Olivia and Matthew to ask someone for information when I heard some commotion. I looked over and saw a large group of Asian tourists going crazy over Olivia. It was really one of the funniest things I have ever seen. They kept waving at her and beckoning her to come closer and they got their cameras out and started taking pictures of her. Olivia was a little alarmed by the situation and started backing up.
There has been quite a buzz about a new playground they just built near Wall St. It is called the Imagination Playground. People were making such a huge deal about this playground and how much better it is than traditional playgrounds. I was wondering what the big deal was when we got there it was pretty much just a big pile of blue s
tyrofoam shapes. Olivia tried building a house a few times, but then asked where the slide was.
The Imagination playground doesn't have anything, but the blue blocks so Olivia took matters into her own hands and came up with her own slide. I think we'll stick to the traditional playgrounds.
We decided to end our day with ice cream cones on the piers. Olivia just wanted to hold hers and Matthew had to keep trying to convince her to lick the ice cream. Just holding the ice cream didn't end well and the ice cream ended up on Olivia's shoes. We all had a good time and really enjoy exploring new areas in the city.
