We went with our PlayGroup to the Conservatory Gardens on Thursday -- located on 105th Street and 5th Avenue which is the northeast corner of Central Park. It was a beautiful day to be out and walking in the park. We had to walk across the park along the north border at 110th street from the west side to the east side! Such a gorgeous part of the park. :::sigh::: We spent about an hour and a half in the gardens looking at flowers and identifying the colors and taking pics. Desi loves flowers!! He wanted to touch all of them and went bounding into the flower beds regardless of my or the gardeners grumbling protests. Tried to explain that the flowers lived in the dirt and we couldn't walk on it but Desi does what he likes and flashes a big smile to compensate. We had lunch on the steps and after repeated climbing exercises we all wandered back through the paths to the westside again. Desi walked most of the way and was able to greet dogs and birds and turtles (Desi was so thrilled with the turtle, he stood there shouting at it, his body twitching and his arms waving about) and wander off onto the grass and embrace the trees. We also came upon some guys fishing, one had just caught a big bass so the babes were able to get a close look. Tons of stimuli! It was such a fun day! We want to take Nate and Heidi back when the fountains will be on and all the tulips in bloom. Perhaps on our anniversary.

here are more pics

(Its taken me some time to finally post this to the blog -- but the pics were discovered somehow on flickr and have received record breaking viewing! 58 was the count this morning (may02) of the other pic similar to this one. I like this one because Desi is smiling.)
