2009 Summer Sleepover

Four of our families participated in a Summer Sleepover on July 10th, complete with tents set up in the club’s ballroom. It proved to be both an intimate and memorable event. At dusk some parents hung out at the bar, no doubt to gather courage before sleeping on the floor, and they may have imagined that 5 fairies were dancing around in the lounge ... or were they girls in their nightgowns, playing tag?

In the moonlight with the sounds of crickets and giggling children intertwined, The Savards resided in their own 'Mansion' tent; Raquel Negron and her mom Liz installed themselves on the large red tumbling mat; Quentin and Kees slept together in their small tent with mom at arms' length; and the Fitzgerald family huddled together on a few layers of comforters. The temperature was just right. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast together... and later that day, a nap, for some. We are proposing to do this again on Friday September 4th, which is the last Friday before school starts. Please contact Hestia (parkhillplaygroup@gmail.com or 917-696-4932) if you want to join us so we can have enough breakfast supplies! Thanks go to Hestia and Steve for organizing.
