On Tuesday we went to our usual homeschool get-together at the pool hall in the West Village. There's so many kids there his age and there's so many things to play. Afterwards we went across the street to a small "park" where all the kids played tag, Nerf war, cops & robbers, and relay racing. It was a gorgeous day out. Right next to us was the infamous Stonewall Inn and in the park were life-sized statues of gay couples. It seems to be a big tourist attraction. The kids were climbing all over them while people were trying to take pictures, lol. Yesterday W and I went out to the Garvies Point Museum for a really nice class on stream erosion. It was basically all about how streams are formed, why they curve, how they shape the land and move the sediment, deltas, alluvial fans, etc. The instructor had this large sandbox which illustrated the movement and effects of both young and mature streams. W enjoyed it. Then we walked around the museum a bit. It's major focus is on American Indian artifacts and ways of life. It's right near the water and the woods, too, so you really feel like you're a part of it.
Oh, and three LaGuardia High School alumni (alumnae?) are in the top 24 of American Idol!! Go Pia, Karen, & Rachel!
