This weekend…

…we went to the toddler playground (the tot lot) and had it nearly to ourselves because the rest of New York was in the Hamptons and Fire Island. And we got really really dirty.

We napped.

We ate fiddlehead ferns sauteed with garlic, soba noodles, and an absolutely perfect acorn squash.

Thumper didn’t eat the ferns but he loved everything else.

We played peekaboo.
