Central Park in the summer never disappoints. We were able to spend a lot of time at Central Park this last summer and enjoy everything is had to offer...the amusement park, the zoo, and of course the beautiful park.
Lyla loves to look for ducks in the pond.
Olivia treated visitors to Shepard's Field to a dance performance.
Lyla LOVED Central Park zoo, our first stop was the Rainforest zone where there were birds everywhere...my little bird lover was in heaven.
Lyla was also excited to feed the animals at the petting zoo. She had no fear and really wanted to get the food into their mouth. Matthew tried to prevent her from getting her whole hand in their mouth.
A trip to the amusement park is always a much anticipated summer event for Olivia. The second the weather starts to get warmer she begins to ask when we're going to Victorian Gardens. Olivia was very patient this year, since we didn't make it until the last day it was open. The long wait was worth it...Olivia and Lyla absolutely loved it!
Olivia has always been fearless and loves thrills. She was ready to hit every ride!
This was Lyla's first trip to the amusement park and we learned that she too is fearless. She was disappointed when she wasn't tall enough to go on some of the bigger rides. She was excited that she was able to get on the roller coaster and she loved it....loved it enough to go 3 times!
Although Central Park is one of our favorite places to go, it is always fun to explore a new area of the city. One of our new adventures this summer was to go on the Highline. Olivia has a book about the Highline so she was especially excited. The city has taken the old elevated train tracks that run through the Meatpacking district and Chelsea and turn it into a garden.
It was fun to feel like you were walking on top of the city. There were beautiful views and we were excited to have seen another gem the city has to offer.
