What's Happening! Week in Review
Photograph of the week: Easter is pretty.
This week we went to the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens and had a blast. We also checked out Socialsklz, a manners class that teaches modern-day social skills. And, found out that Birthday party places on Staten Island are just as fun at a fraction of the cost.
Meanwhile, just two days after we posted photos of the new playground at Brooklyn Bridge Park, predicting that the metal orb features of this park were going to get very hot on summer days, the NY Daily News ran an article saying the metal orbs are already burning hot and the Brooklyn Paper followed up to say that tents have been put in place to keep the burning orbs out of the sun.

It's Tartan Week in NYC. Learn where you can soak up some Scottish culture with the kids, see thousands of bagpipers in the Tartan Day Parade, or my favorite, go for the Annual Shearing of the Heather in Ft Tryon Park and kids can bring their own drums to march in a mni pipes and drums procession, do crafts and then head to Urban Wildlife Appreciation Day. Sounds like a great way to spend a beautiful day to me.
Little League starts this weekend. Find out about teams near you or head to Prospect Park for their Opening Day Parade and festivities. For more sports fun: The NY Road Runners Club has lots of fun races coming up that kids of all ages can participate in. Get out and put your feet to the street; it's great exercise and fun too.

There's so much going on this weekend I could barely pick what to feature. You can try your hands at Medieval Arts Children’s Workshop, a Children’s Carnival, or Kids Comic Con. Plus, the Center for Fiction and "Read This" are offering a great celebration of Books for NYC Schools Day.
This weekend is also Brooklyn's monthly Deedle Deedle Dees Family Variety Show that we reviewed last week.
