Earth Day in Central Park

Kids sure know how to celebrate this holiday. We trekked to the park to join an estimated 15,000 Laurie Berkner fans -- including our buddies Aimee, Rob and 2-year-old Nick -- for a free concert. We arrived early, scouted out a nice piece of grass and settled in for the long haul in the beautiful spring sunshine.

Mason played on the grass for a little while, until he remembered (urban baby that he is) he doesn't like grass. He fell down, and Mommy had to help him up, because he's sitting there, trying to balance himself on his bum, without touching the grass with his legs or his hands! Pretty funny!
After that episode, he decided Daddy had the right idea -- hanging on the soft blanket...

We enjoyed our picnic lunch while watching Brady Rymer and the Little Band that Could and then Laurie took the stage to sing all her big songs. Mason's favorite -- as always -- seemed to be We Are The Dinosaurs, which got his feet movin'.

After the concert, we made our way off the Great Hill and back down to the playground, where Mason made himself at home in the very crowded sandbox and played until we were all pooped.
