Hoboken

Jammin' with the dolphin and getting wet.
Duckie.
Baby see-saws.
Do you know when the last time I did this was?? Nice highlights.
Looking up at Reese.

Total turnaround from yesterday. Seriously, one of the most fun days we have had all summer, next to Sesame Place or our 4+ hour days at the pool. Hoboken is so kid friendly. The playground we went to not only was asphalt coated to prevent skinned knees, but had 3 levels of playgrounds depending on age AND a water part. Ice cream. Dogs EVERYWHERE.

Lily found money. And a wad of it. Well, found a wallet while wandering around Frank Sinatra Park. So I see her playing with something, a wallet, she found on a bench. I hesitated picking it up, because what if the owner thought I was stealing it? Well, my kid found it so I can't get in trouble. I open it and there was like $500+ in cash in it, I swear, I haven't seen that much $$ in a wallet in years. Ha. So I think for a minute, THANK GOD, then I realize I could not live with myself if I cleaned this poor guy out. So I look for a drivers license. No dice. But I do find a gym membership card. I realize this is the guy walking the bulldog that we had just passed walking down the pier. I remember looking at him, pretty buff "gym dude" in his late 40's? walking a bulldog, funny how owners and their dogs look alike. It's him. So I scoop up Lily and walk towards the water sprays because I think I see him, but its kinda far. I walk up to him, Lily on my hip and ask him if he lost his wallet. Hi doggie. He feels his pockets, uh, oh my god, yes. I hand him the wallet. I say, I didn't take anything, I was just looking for your license. He is speechless. I kinda was hoping for a reward, but that's ok. I believe in karma. We walk away. Oh, and Rich is with Reese, they went someplace else in the park. So I tell him the story. He wants to punch me.
Let this poor guy have a little faith in humanity and remember that there is at least one decent person out there.
Maybe I should start playing the lottery? Just kidding.
