We hit Elephant Playground for its first Fall Family Festival with all the youngins (no, really, ALL of them, and their parents, caregivers, etc, etc. It was a zoo!) on the Upper West Side on Sunday. They had bouncy castles. They had carnival games. They had face painting and crafts. But, the real draw for us was this: A REAL FDNY Fire Truck (complete with firemen) for the kids to climb on. The NYPD also brought a police car for the same purpose, but it was merely dwarfed in the shadow of the truck.
Mason even got to drive for a bit.
He wasn't too happy when the fireman informed him it was someone else's turn (you should have seen the line!!!) But, luckily, we entertained ourselves on the outside.
And then moved on to the police car.

After that, we staked out our spot on the basketball courts and waited for the Little Maestros concert. Mason LOVED that. Photos and videos of that to come later.
We capped off our time at the festival by standing in another line, this time to meet and have Mason's photo taken with Elmo. In classic toddler fashion, he kept pleading to see Elmo while I pleaded with him for patience, and then, we get to the front of the line, and he's scared.
For the $5 we paid, I figured we better get a picture out of it...so, here WE are.
