So, of COURSE everyone is welcome, with a kid or not, prego or not yet
Lets wait till mid-May or later, so theres NO chance of SNOW or bad weather (we hope! )
Lets throw in ideas of places, dates, etc.
Where does everyone live ? We'll find a happy midpoint.. A park, playground ? Picnic ?
Heather-thanks for this GREATTTT IDEA !!

I live in Levittown.
I love the picnic idea. Maybe we could go to a playground that has a picnic area to sit and talk. I am almost positive Eisenhower Park does.
I can't wait. We will have our own little Mommy and me group!

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
Well I'm in the Commack/Smithtown area...
Can the Nassau mommies come further east to meet with Karen in between ?
Riverhead is pretty far..so lets shoot for a midpoint.

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
I am in syosset. Eisenhower sounds good but I guess to far west, does anyone have any ideas of places that are maybe in the western suffolk area so that we can compromise a little? I am in nassau so I am not too familiar with suffolk.

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
I found this list:
Bayard Cutting Oakdale 516-581-1022 Belmont Lake North Babylon 516-667-5050 Bethpage Farmingdale 516-240-0701 Caleb Smith Smithtown 516-265-1054 Captree West Islip 516-669-0449 Caumsett Lloyd Neck 516-423-1770 Connetquot River Oakdale/Bohemia 516-581-1005 Sunken Meadow Kings Park 516-269-4333 Heckscher East Islip 516-581-2100 Hempstead Lake West Hempstead 516-766-1029 Hither Hills Montauk 516-668-2461 Jones Beach Wantagh 516-785-1600 Montauk Downs Montauk 516-668-5000 Montauk Point Montauk 516-668-2461 Robert Moses Fire Island 516-669-0449 Orient Beach Orient 516-323-2440 Planting Fields Oyster Bay 516-922-9200 Valley Stream Valley Stream 516-825-4128 Walt Whitman House South Huntingon
I know alot of parks require town stickers.. Im not familiar with the south shore/Babylon area... Anyone know of good parks around that area..or even north shore.. the ones I can think of require town stickers..
Theres a really cute beach I 'found' last year..Crab Meadow Beach...in Huntington township. they didnt require a sticker, they have swings, big playground in the sand, boardwalk to walk, table to eat at. Gorgeous. WE can walk the strollers, play in the playground and swings, and bring our bag lunches and eat at the picnic tables ! (they didnt require a town sticker, and it was a very clean, private type beach )
How does that sound To everyone :)

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
Anna - that sounds perfect. I think we should definately wait til May so the weather will be warmer. Is it better for a Sat, Sun, or Weekday? I only work 3 days a week and can pick ehich days so I am open. Except I have a party on the 3rd and 10th. And every Friday from 1:35-2:50 we go to Mommy and Me - but any other time is great! Should we invite the Daddy's too?

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
If we can do during the week, for those of us that are home that would give us something to look forward too. Everyone's weekends seem to be packed with home-things, so whichever works with the majority is fine with me.
Id have to do late May also. I have things going on the 3rd and 10th also.

HOW TO GET THERE.
I 'found' this place by mistake, and the 'landmark' that reminds me of how to get there is this restaurant called Pumpernickels in Northport.
Just so that this landmark gives everyone an idea of how far and where they are traveling to: (we can eat our bag lunches @ the beach!) Pumpernickels Restaurant 640 Main St, Northport, NY 11768
and the beach is I would say another 3-4 miles north from this restaurant. This is on a main road which everyone should be able to get to. I'll go there again before May and I'll come back and give exact directions
Its a gorgeous beach. Bring your cameras.
Also, for those that have never been, Northport Village is beautiful ! But be careful with the toddlers, the docks are wide open, so just the thought of a toddler running around scares me. But it is gorgeous to walk around, have lunch, watch the water, read a book...
So who's coming !
Do we vote weekday or weekend ? I vote weekday, only because I have SOO much free time during the week ! Hows a 10:30-11am meeting time ?

Re: LIW 'The Kids' GTG
I may be on maternity leave by then, so I will try to go!! It sounds like so much fun, and I can 'practice' being a mommy and learn from all you BTDT moms!
