serious business at Matthiessen Park

 Sebastian and Liesl had a grand time at Matthiessen Park over the weekend. We played on the swings and slides for awhile, and then moved down to the Hudson River beach for the real action: throwing sticks in the river.

 Seb showed Liesl what to do:

 And she gamely started finding sticks.

 How do I do this again?

 And she's back for more.

 And for a finale, Seb moves on to using the stick to splash and poke at the the water, which quickly devolved into getting your feet wet and cold.
