Easter Eve and Washington Square Park

For Easter weekend I probably should have planned a trip to somewhere with a bunny for the baby with bunny photo-op. I looked into but most were egg hunts and I didn't really think Jaime was ready for that - after being in NYC for a while now my guess is that it would be about 10 kids (all at least three years older than him) to an egg and all in a 400 sq foot spot of dirt (there isn't a lot of grass first of April). So we passed this year.  Instead, we planned to do a fun city outting on Saturday and some relaxing on Sunday.

Saturday we headed out to tour the East Village.  Dan spent about 5 minutes there and decided he wasn't in the mood for uber hipsters. It was the second time we lugged the bob stroller through the subway so I think he needed something easy going.

So we headed to Greenwich Village, specifically to Washington Square Park as Jaime was ready to get out of the stroller for some action.

He played at the small playground and we looked like the first time parent nutcases taking a ton of pictures. 

Then we hung out on a bench and people watched.  Jaime thought he was so cool standing up on the bench. And was obsessed with the zipper pocket on Dan's fleece.

Later, we happened to come upon a street fair... street fairs here are interesting.  They are pretty much some grills (for grilled corn and such) tshirt vendors and other odds and ends. Once you have seen one you have seen them all and you could totally skip it and not miss anything.

And then it was naptime! But first, the easter bunny needed to make a stop to get a basket.  Because where in the world in the city do you find decent easter baskets that aren't plastic tubs?  I tried during the week but there was no where in my path.  So we trekked up to Michaels and found the only one not covered in feathers and glitter.  Lucky easter bunny. And that was our Easter Eve.
