When Sam wasn't placing phone calls to his various long distance maternal influences (Nona in Albany, Bubbe in CT, and Grandma Terry in AK), he was enjoying a lovely weekend with his mother, aka "Mama." He started the weekend off by joining in a song-filled sing-along evening on the Hudson River sponsored by the Battery City Parks program (It took Sheyna back to memories of campfire singalongs at her beloved Camp Little Notch). Sadly, no pictures of this glorious event.
Next up, fishing on the Hudson along with crafts, also sponsored by Battery City Parks. Sam got a taste of the weight of a real rod and reel for the first time, although the results were the same as our frequent visits to the East River with our homemade--skunked again! Of course, his craft was a pirate ship--currently still drying from all the glue he added. He called this one "The Peking pirate ship" (named after another actual retired ship at the South St. Seaport Ship Musuem).
On the morning of the big day, Mother's Day of course, Sam presented his Mama with presents and then it was off for a day at the Bronx Zoo. We saw a lot of animals and Sheyna got to revisit a place she remembers fondly from visits with her grandfather as a child. By the time we left, everyone was tuckered out. The day ended with Sam tucking in his Mama for an early bedtime. Happy Mother's Day!
