This weekend has been comprised of workouts and various activities. Yesterday we swam and ran early 'cause we decided to go to an afternoon music festival in Pleasantville. The day was beautiful, appropriately hot. We would'nt have gone if it was in the 90s. It was still a challenge not to get sunburned. I lathered a lot of 50 before I went, and we carried some along. Mike is my skin protection cop. He constantly asks me if I am protected, and recently said that we should not hang out on the beach. A couple of days later, one of the nannies I know was yelling at me too about going in the sun. I have been so good about sunscreen that I put it on when I go out to treat the kids I see too. We considered bringing a beach umbrella, but we were not sure if we could bring it in or not. If we do it again we will bring the umbrella for sure. It was a family friendly event, so there loads of kids running around. I bet it was weird for the last band playing to see the kids running around like that. There were jumping castles and activities for the stinkers. One of the activities was face painting. I have to say that the caliber of the face painter had left a little to be desired. I would spot a kid and think their face was bleeding, then realize it was the face painting job. One kid looked like they did blackface on him! We also would get occasional whiffs of diaper smell. Kid watching was pretty entertaining. The bands were good too, and we saw Jonatha Brooks, Sean Mullins, and the Damnwells. The Damnwells were from Brooklyn, so we started looking for Brooklyn people in the crowd. There is definately a Brooklyn look. The most extreme of the look is the mermaid parade people. The formula is people who look like they have not seen the sun for quite a while, funny hipster glasses, weird shoes, and hipster doofus outfits. I swear you can spot them a mile away! http://www.coneyisland.com/mermaid.shtml
On another note, K + A will be sadder to know the Michigan winery article hit #6 in the most emailed on NY Times website yesterday.
