Explorers scream for ice cream! After making their way into downtown Manhattan, strap-hanger style, Edwin and the senior campers followed the sweetest smell of summer (and Keyanna's sweet tooth) across the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory on Monday morning. http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/brooklyn-ice-cream-factory/ Afterwards, on the ride to Fort Greene Park to work off those sprinkles it was three cheers for Wet-Naps! Walking the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory might not be the most relaxing way for parents of little ones to spend a weekday afternoon, but that doesn't mean that Mr. Softee is your only option for a cool summer treat. After Sarah sends the boys from Two: Cool for School home at noon, an afternoon at the NY City Explorers' Underhill playspace is a great way to cool off, and walking through Blue Marble Ice Cream to get there is the cherry on top! http://bluemarbleicecream.com/
While the senior campers enjoyed a timeless summer treat, Brittany's junior campers were stepping back through time into old-fashioned New York City via the Merchant's House Museum. http://www.merchantshouse.com/ The spacious rooms and original furnishings of the 19th century Washington Square row house hearken back to a time before New York City had even elected its first mayor, but somehow Brittany was able to maintain law and order amongst the campers anyway!
Fresh from her Florida vacation, Gayla still hadn't tired of the sunshine, so rather than be contained in the Merchant's House Museum with the junior campers, the Explorers Club headed outside to Van Voorhees Park to soak up the rays (after being slathered in sunscreen, of course!) In between running through the sprinklers and swinging on the swings, Lili and Simone took the time to make sure our youngest Explorer, 13-month-old Reza, was not only safe in Gayla's arms, but was having fun as well. As anyone who has ever been treated to the twins' performance of the Mary Poppins classic, The Perfect Nanny, can report, little Reza was not left wanting for entertainment!
