Field House - Chelsea Piers
In my mommy's quest to try out all of the play spaces in New York City and the surrounding area, today, we went to check out another indoor playground at Chelsea Piers. This place was a lot of fun and different than the other places so far, because they have a ball pit. I loved to go swimming in the multi-colored ball pit, and climbing on all of the equipment! When I get little bigger, I heard that I can start taking soccer lessons here too. They even have gymnastics classes and have been known to produce Olympic athletes right here at this very spot. Imagine that!

Hina-matsuri (Girl's Day)
The Hina Matsuri or Doll Festival or Girl's Festival is celebrated on March 3. On this day, families with girls wish their daughters a successful and happy life. Dolls are displayed in the house together with peach blossoms. The doll festival has its origin in a Chinese custom in which bad fortune is transferred to dolls and then removed by abandoning the doll on a river.
This is me, next to the Hina dolls that grandma and grandpa in Japan gave to me so that I can celebrate this holiday every year! As you can see, I got dressed up for the occassion. I also did a little song and dance on my trampoline, to some traditional Hina-matsuri music. Daddy took a video of it, so maybe he can help me upload it for you all to see.
