My sister is in town and I have had the opportunity to explore a lot of New York City that I normally would not, being "without child", and all. Today we started off the day on the steps of the Brooklyn Public Library. The library was having a kids' event hosted by Target. This, by the way, is the perfect opportunity for parents to dump their 5 & older aged kids on the steps of a museum surrounded by highway-like traffic for an hour while they tap away on cell phones and blackberrys. Genius, Target. Sheer Genius.
After compiling an impressive amount of free red and white covered coloring books and crayons, we headed to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Spoiler Alert: there are nude statues littering the entrance to this museum. This fact makes it, of course, a great opportunity to speak to your 3, 5, & 7 year old nieces about the human anatomy. Lovely.
The afternoon treat on this already long (yet-it's-only-3pm) day was the Brooklyn Children's Museum. I was so tempted to join all the kids on this final adventure...but work was calling. And surprisingly, the call of work was LOUDER than the shrieking children, dancing in delight over what I am sure was a fun time.
Tomorrow? We conquer Canal Street!
