Kids were awesome today…..

We take the train to Prospect Park, eat lunch at a diner nearby, then meet Dori. The zoo is on the other side of the park. We begin walking. We lose our direction. We walk some more, and some more, and more and more. On grass, on pavement, through woods. It is awfully hot once again. We take little breaks at times, a playground with a sprinkler, a spot with ducks by the lake. I ask people where the zoo is. “There’s a zoo here?”

We eventually find the carousel, which is adjacent to the zoo, and spend the rest of the afternoon there.

The total trip was about 6 hours all outdoors on a hot day and getting home was really a pain with weekend train schedules and I don’t think that I heard a complaint the entire time.
