XOXOXO!

New York may not be the city of love, but it sure is a city to love! With more restaurants than some cities have people, there was surely a prixe fixe meal for each and every New Yorker to enjoy yesterday, as Explorers in every corner of Brooklyn welcomed sitters into their homes so that parents could enjoy some oft much-needed time alone! We hope everyone enjoyed a lovely Valentine's Day weekend!
The Explorers Club tots were full of love of fellow man themselves today, as they shared the Underhill play space with the kids from 2: Cool for School. Our Schermerhorn play space was closed for the holiday today, so it was with much delight that the children from 110 Schermerhorn gathered in Prospect Heights to play with new toys and new friends. They've all met Tommy and Jackson before, but new to the crew since last week is Amaya, a cute-as-can-be 2-year-old with curl hair, big brown eyes, and a personality that shines! Amaya wasted no time getting to know the new kids, taking charge of the room and introducing everyone to her good friend Bob, the stuffed dog that joins her everywhere she goes.
While new friends were aplenty this morning, the kids were missing some of their old buddies. With Haven and Shelton enjoying the last week of their South Carolina vacation, it was almost too much to bear that Gayla was away too! We hope our most artistic Explorers Club teacher had fun tapping into her athletic side this weekend, as she enjoyed a long weekend away skiing with her beau. We know she's enjoying snuggling by the fire, hot chocolate in hand, but by the time she returns to the crew on Wednesday, she'll be all the more excited to snuggle up to some hugs from her favorite Brooklyn Explorers!
