Let’s Go To The Park! Easy Hot Chocolate Mix

The first thing my grandkids say to me the minute I walk in the door is “Grandma, can you take us to the park?”  I love a park from growing up in the city – our favorite one is on 35 Street between First & Second Avenue. Both Merci and I and our sisters and friends spent hours and hours playing or hanging out. Here is a photo of us hanging out 🙂35stpark

Ha, what a crew !……Anyway, as long as it is not raining (because they want to go, no matter the weather)  I try to get them to the park for a hour or so.parkIt was early in the day and the kids had the park to themselves.  Natalie is the climber. (Imaging me yelling).park1

It was a great day for a car race! This is very serious stuff – lots of concentration needed. (Imagine me rooting!!!)
