Crayola NYC Pixie Party Trip – Day 2 – Stop 1

Last week I told you about my Day 1 on my trip to NYC. The second day is the best part of the trip and a day me and my daughters will remember for LIFE. Day 2 starts with us waking up late and in a panic. We were supposed to meet downstairs for breakfast at around 8:30 – 9:00am. I had planned to wake up at 6am and check out NYC in the morning, before we got our day started but that did not happen. I had used my cell phone for an alarm that was set for Monday – Friday only. I am so glad that we took showers the night before and were able to jump up and throw our clothes on, brush our teeth, brush our hair, throw on some makeup and head downstairs to the rest of the Pixies.

We got downstairs (in our cute Pixie shirts) and were able to grab some breakfast and make the Crayola Pop Art Pixies Glass Pendant. These are cute little glass pendants that you color and personalize. After we were done, we were all instructed to meet outside where we would first see our cool Pop Art Pixie Tour Bus. This thing was awesome on the outside as well as the inside. The inside had white plastic seats with cool lighting in the inside. This was the coolest tour bus I have seen yet.

So we all pile in the bus and get ready to head out on our day. Before we were told where we were going, we received our first “Pixie Mail” of the day. The “Pixie Mail” is a Pop Art Pixie postcard with some clues on where we were going next. Since the Pop Art Pixie character “Skye” likes nature and wildlife, we were taken to Central Park. What we did not expect was a nice horse drawn buggy ride all throughout the park.

I have been on a buggy ride before, but not a buggy ride all throughout Central Park in New York. It was cold outside and we got to cover up with a big fluffy red blanket. I would have to say that Central Park is beautiful. The colors of the leaves really look amazing. My daughter Hailey had even asked me if the trees were fake. I totally want to take a trip back to this park just to walk around.

While we were stopped, I got to grab a picture with Jennifer and Connie. I was so excited to be able to meet other mommy bloggers that I have met online and also read their blogs. This was my first time meeting other blogging moms and I couldn’t resist getting a picture with them. They got the cutest buggy, it was PURPLE.

One of my favorite parts of the buggy ride is when we stopped at a tree that had all of our Crayola Pop Art Pixie Wind Chimes hanging that we had painted the night before. This was so unexpected and so cool! I just had to snap some pictures of all our pretty wind chimes hanging in the wind.

Another cool part of the buggy ride was being able to stop and view the Bethesda Fountain that is located in Central Park. We had seen this fountain in the movie Elf and was excited to see it in person. I got quite a few snapshots of the fountain, including the girls standing in front of it. Know that we had to watch the movie Elf when we got home, especially after seeing the billboards in NYC for it. We happened to own the movie, so the day after we got home, we popped in the DVD and watched it remembering the fun times in Central Park we had.

Now this is only Stop 1 out of 4. Stay tuned to hear about the rest of the stops we made on our Crayola NYC Pixie Weekend Adventure.
