glad to have read this, wasn't planning on bringing the stroller - we'll see how Malka tolerates stroller sitting during lunch! Fountain splashing sounds awesome, as does Lulu's.

Just fyi, its the Puerto Rican Day parade today, so there will be a fair amount of traffic for anyone coming into the city. It gets pretty awesomely fun and noisy (but not babyfriendly) the closer you get to 5th ave bet 44th and 79th.

Today was awesome and so much fun. We had a blast, and loved meeting Vi and Lucinda, and seeing our friends Malka and Ada (and their lovely parents of course). I am so so so happy we made it out, and I hope we do another one soon.

I have to say, that I've never seen a picture that does Lucinda justice. She is so very beautiful.

It was so nice meeting/seeing everyone!
Andy took a ton of pictures but still didn't get one with everyone looking or not trying to escape. So I'll post two :-) Maybe you have a better one annak?

From left to right: annak and Vi, Ada and I, Butternut and Lucinda, Ariann and Malka, Tofulish and Leela

And here are Malka, Vi, and Ada having a banging on the chair party.

I wish I thought to start taking pictures before we were about to leave. There were some pretty adorable times and lots of chasing mobile babies around the restaurant.

We had a really great time! I think Malka had fun trying to keep up with the "big kids," Vi and Ada.

Malka also napped terribly all day long and that translated to her going to bed at like 9 - crazy early! She did wake up a ton during the night, including an hour from 4-5 am where she wanted to partay, but it was still nice to have some sleeping baby time in the evening, we never get that!

We enjoyed meeting everyone so much! I think babynut will want to do another meetup when she can get down and play with the big girls.

Another meet-up sounds wonderful! Maybe over the summer or at very latest when flavabean is visiting NYC in Oct

So jealous! That looks like so much fun!

sashi · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:22 pm

Yes, we should definitely try to do it again this summer! Maybe a picnic in a park so the kids have more room to play and move around?

Tofulish · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:25 pm

That sounds wonderful! We are in!

Annak, when do you leave CT?

sashi · **Posted:** Mon Jul 09, 2012 12:21 pm

Should we try to do a picnic this month or next?

Tofulish · **Posted:** Mon Jul 09, 2012 12:27 pm

I'm in! Just tell us the when and wheres! I can't do July 15, but generally a Sunday gives me an off chance that Brett can join.

sashi · **Posted:** Mon Jul 09, 2012 12:45 pm

A Sunday it is then! We can do the last weekend in July and the first two weekends in August.

As far as where...if we do madison square park Terri is right there (butterfinger shakes!) if anyone doesn't feel like bringing food. Or central park obviously has bunches of open space but I'm not sure what a good spot would be to meet.

ooh I might be able to make this one! I would truly love to meet you all. However, I will admit that I am a total hot weather wimp so if it's above like 90 I'll probably bail.

I just went back to lula's yesterday to get another flurry. We could do July 29 or August 12. Butterfinger shakes are tempting but I love central park so either sound good to me. Yay!

Tofulish · **Posted:** Mon Jul 09, 2012 4:09 pm

Madison Park is super-easy from NJ, but I am happy to go anywhere. I can definitely do 7/29 and August. And mmmmmmm butterfinger.... And the Thanksgiving Sandwich. I also love the playground at Madison Park and all the wonderful shade. And the Indian restaurants near by.

Audrey, if its super-hot are there places to meet indoors that would work for you? I'm fine with spending a hot day by a fountain or in AC....

Ack, with all the travelling I didn't see this until now (getting caught up with PPK when I can, which is not often :( ), but I'm in San Diego now after a few weeks of being on cross-country road trip. But we left a week or two after I saw you all. It was fun meeting everyone though!!

sashi · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2012 12:41 pm

It sounds like Madison Square park might be the most central location. Would July 29th work for everyone?

JENNA · **Posted:** Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:41 pm

This might work out for us! Peter wants to go to a Capoeira class in NYC one Sunday. Maybe I can work it that he just meets us after the class where ever we are.

I should be able to do 7/29, will know for sure when I get back home from my work trip.

Tofulish · **Posted:** Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:50 pm

Is this on? Because we are there if it is. Let's say Madison Square Park at noonish? Bring your own picnic or pick up stuff at Terri's?
