A gorgeous day in prospect park







Team Baker flew off to California today and Mike started school, leaving Sullivan and I completely on our own. Being adventurous members of Team Solis we went out and took advantage of a whole perfect fall day with absolutely no errands or obligations and took the train all by our selves for the first time! We headed up to 7Th Ave, then walked all the way from the north end of Prospect Park to the Southwest Corner, near our neighborhood.

The first stop was the Grand Army Plaza, a monument to the Union Army of the Civil War. Sully really loved the fountains, then we meandered thru the park stopping for playgrounds, statues, especially pretty trees, squirrels and swans.

Sullivan walked a lot on his own, and I am impressed at his ability to keep up and not get too terribly off track (excursions to chase squirrels aside). I am a little terrified by the amount of energy Sully has to burn everyday, it really is an effort to tire him out. He doesn't even drink juice or eat sugary snacks. Sully will most certainly be athletic and luckily there is no shortage of opportunity to be active here.
