Going to the Big Apple Circus with my Daughter's Class

Once again my daughter and I went to Big Apple Circus but this year we do it with her class. I 'm one of the chaperon for today's class trip. Second field trip in the same week. Her class certainly do a lot of stuff!

The performance was so amazing. It also helps that we are in Row D, so we can see clearly. 

Visiting Green Meadows Farm

My daughter's class visited Green Meadow's Farm in Floral Park, NY today. They pet the chickens, the pigs, the sheep, the bunnies and even milked a cow. At first my daughter did not want to pet the chickens because they were following her. Then she saw her classmates petting them and she changed her mind. She was waving goodbye to the chickens before she get out of their coop. They had a chance to look at varying sizes of turtles. Each children in her class also rode a pony.  They also enjoyed the hay ride.

My Favorite Smoothie Shop and Juice Bar in Bayside, NY

When you're a Mom, you're always in a rush to go somewhere, because for some reason you don't get out of the front door when you're supposed to. There's always something that you have to find like your child's sunglasses that got misplaced, her favorite toy or she just want to go change her clothes or shoes again. Having some cold drink cools you down.

Our favorite place to get a smoothie is  Sweet Adele in 73-10 Bell Boulevard. Whenever we go to the Windsor Park library either for the library programs like Arts and Crafts or Story time or just to borrow books, we buy our favorite smoothie in Sweet Adele's. The owners are very friendly and Cindy remember our favorite, one day when my husband went with my daughter and I, he was so surprised when he ordered and the owner give him the smoothie that she was making. She started making it as soon as she heard the word smoothie when we entered the store I think. I told my husband it was no brainer, my daughter and I ordered the same smoothie every time and that's twice a week even in winter time. Yes, we order smoothie even in Winter time. At first I did not know I can order smoothie in winter time but my daughter order it and apparently they have it even in winter time. I let her order it because she likes ordering and Hawaiian Vacation is such a mouthful I'm amazed that she can say it even when she was just three years old. Sweet Adele is also near at least 4 playgrounds that it is very convenient to grab a smoothie there and sip it while the kids are playing.

One of our favorite juice bar in Bayside is mmm...That's a Wrap in 45-52 Bell Blvd, Bayside, NY. Just love the freshly made Green Machine! Before my daughter was born we usually go there after going to Bell Plaza Sports Club, now we go there every time we bring our daughter for her regular check-up with her pediatrician. For some reason, she has this idea that we have to treat her out every time she see her pediatrician, Dr Theodora Panteloglou, so what better way to treat her out than buying some freshly made juice for each of us.

Another favorite is the Health Nuts in 21135 26th Ave, Bayside, NY. If you like fresh organic fruits or vegetable juices, then this is the place! We go here when we go to Barnes and Noble Storytime, or when we want to eat veggie barbecue. They have a section in the back of the store where you can order and eat food made with organic ingredients.
