rainbow city


the highline had just opened phase two of the park, stretching from i think 23rd st to 30th st and we decided to go check it out. apparently going to a park on a sunday afternoon sounded like a nice idea for thousands of people. i didn't really enjoy it. it was too crowded to really get a feel for the new section of the park. we made it all the way to 30th st and were greeted by a pop-up art installment by friends with you, rainbow city.


two of the air filled structures were open inside for people to play in, and not just the little ones. robert went inside with simon. i didn't see inside the first one, but i guess you were just supposed to run around in circles. good enough for a 3 year old boy.



the other one was a bouncy house. simon was really unsure of it at first.



but after a while he didn't even want robert to go inside with him.



i have to remind myself that this is the kind of thing that we wouldn't get outside of a city. i really take for granted what this place has to offer.
