Weaponry Camp and the Brooklyn Bridge

Another fabulous day was had by the Martin clan in NY today. We started with a stroll(er) across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Then George conducted an impromptu weaponry camp at the Brooklyn Bridge playground. He took sticks and flower vines and tied them together to look like swords. He then conducted a seminar for the other boys in the playground so they could make their own swords from flowers.

Where does this come from? We Martins are a peace loving people. Are we not?






After weaponry camp we headed to Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (or DUMBO, as the area is known. Really.) We ate delicious ice cream at Jacques Torres' chocolate shop. If you are without cumber, may I suggest you get on a plane right now and head to NY for a scoop of this goodness.

George and Goldie actually finished their entire cones. See Goldie fighting us off with her spoon as we try to steal some of hers? Hmmm... Again with the improvised weaponry.





We eat and go to a playground. Then eat and hit another playground.

Next stop, New York's newest attraction: Pier 6 park, or "The New Adventure Playground," which was privately funded and cost more than $6 million." It was money well spent. Of all the stellar parks we've visited this week, this one is the most impressive.





Even Milo found something fun.
