do-rag and idyllic sundays

On a particularly warm and pleasant Sunday afternoon we found ourselves leaving the house at 9:45 am, having already eaten breakfast, cleaned the house, baked a frittata and packed a picnic to join our other friends-with-child-therefore-awake-and-available-before-10am-
on-a-Sunday-morning friends
up a Tilden Park for an idyllic day of picnicing, taking in the Farm and the always-a-hit Steam Train. Micah decided he wanted a "hat" like mama and sported this do-rag (which apparently "the term do-rag is itself an acronym derived from Drive-On rag, a term that first came into usage among U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War. The original Drive On Rag or DO Rag was the compressed muslin bandage that comes in most military First-Aid Kits." Who knew?)

There were all sorts of fashionable head accessories, like the super-dorky-baby-hat, -er I mean, legionnaire's hat, worn ever so stylishly by Nikko here (Don't worry Nikko--ALL the cool kids are wearing them):
Speaking of Nikko, Micah enjoyed showing him the ropes at the Farm and Steam Trains on Nikko (and his parents') virgin voyage:
