Popovers & Parks: a day with Cassidy & Egan

One of the first spring-like days calls for some good fun with some of my favorite friends in the city. I spent the morning visiting with Patricia and her daughter Cassidy on the U.W.S. We finally made it to the Popover Cafe where Cassidy managed to eat most of my salmon and most of her mommy's popover. I swear that child has the most adventurous palate:
We played around Central Park a little bit so Cassidy could ride the horses. That is, until the big blowout ....(see Cassidy's blog for details). Our park trip was cut a little short after that, but I still had hours of good park time to go...

So, I took the 1 train all the way up to Van Cordlandt Park where I met up with Amy and Egan. Egan told me ALL about General Isiah Porter whose statue stands in front of Van Cordlandt mansion at the north end of the park. Here's Egan trying to hide from us and defending us with his sword. Amy fixed us all yummy pizza back at their place in the Bronx. She also shared a classic piece of collective writing by her 4th graders. See the following post.
