Bring Back the Grandparents (Days 2 and 3), Ancient Post Revisited

Never deterred by foul weather, Lucy led her grandparents on a grand tour of her beloved Prospect Park on chilly Saturday morning. She started, of course, with the Garfield Tot Lot where she showed off her totting skills on the microslide and tiny platforms. We then wandered over to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and Grandham took amazing photos of the waterlillies and ducks. Afterwards, we worked our way through the greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza, munching on Concord grapes and fresh nuts-and-bolts bread while procuring baby greens, Macoun apples, turkey sausage and butternut squash for our dinner.

On Sunday, we awoke to a beautiful sunny day and decided to explore more of Prospect Park. At the Ninth Street Playground Lucy demonstrated how to hold on to your hat while enjoying a good swing.



We then took a long and rewarding walk to the Audobon house via the Peninsula and Lullwater trails, enjoying lovely fall views of bridges spanning lilly-covered ponds framed by small trees with newly red and yellow leaves. Grandham took lots of pictures and Lolly read placards about phragmites. Meanwhile, Lucy shunned her stroller, preferring a higher perch...

Before Lolly and Grandham headed to the airport, we all went to brunch at Belleville, the bistro on our corner. As you can see, a good time was had by all, especially Lucy.
