Editor’s Note: Too frequently, the NYC Dads Group events are usually planned for dads and their children. In honor of Father’s Day, it was a wonderful opportunity to have the entire family come out to Central Park for a picnic/playdate. Enjoy a brief recap by NYC Dads Group member, Shaun Raad as well as our slide show…
The weather cooperated, the treats were bountiful, and it was an all around great day at the park! Blankets, strollers, and picnics galore! I’m often asked, “how in the world did you adjust to staying at home full time,” and the question draws me back to a cold day in February when I found the NYC Dad’s Group. That feeling of isolation seems a long way away on days like today.
There was an excellent turnout of families with a simple shared interest in spending time with their children. The kids had a great time playing, and the parents had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones. A Special thanks to Malu in Long Island City for providing the tasty ice cream. I think everyone would agree that days like today confirm why we CHOSE to be involved dads.
Happy Father’s Day Everyone!
