Since Maren is here, Everyone has been spending a lot of time together, just like in the good ole days of our youth. It’s been so great for us all to be together for long periods of time and to know that we can see eachother any time we want. More than once during the last few weeks since Maren’s arrival, the phrase “I missed Everyone” has been uttered.
Our first everyone activity was the week Maren was here to interview for her job.
We went to Bourbon Street for happy hour and aligator burgers (yum!) and then went to help Zak get a new chair for his apartment. Below is the very strange chair that we got rid of that looks like it’s comfortable (it isn’t) and looks like it lays down for sleeping (it does not).
The day Maren moved here, Zak came over so Everyone could spend their first official day of living in the City together. First we looked at Maren’s new room (our loft).
Then we did some drinking, ate a chinese feast and played some cards. Good Everyone times.
This weekend for Everyone Day, we took a stroll from our apartment to the park and wandered around in it’s Saturday glory. 
Maren and Zak had never been to this part of the park which is the part that shows up in all movies.
Then we took another stroll over to FAO Schwartz the toystore because Zak and Maren had never been.
We spent a long time in here for people who didn’t have kids and weren’t planning to buy anything.
We had to go up the escalator twice to capture Maren with these Lego Harry Potter characters.
Oh, and to enable her to put on her witch’s hat. That was important.
After our toystore fun, we walked to Grand Central station because Maren had never been there and it’s a sight to behold.
We went to the Transit Museum Gallery there and learned a lot about the Subway and got souvenirs. I got a pair of subway map socks. Maren got a subway map mug and Zak got subway playing cards.
After this afternoon of great fun, we went to an outdoor mexican restaurant with $3 margaritas (yeah!) and then took the long walk home where we played Wii bowling, peanuts, drank wine and wathed the pilot episode of Alias. It was a long day of fun for Everyone.
Alas, due to scheduling conflicts, there will be no Everyone Day this week. I know what you’re thinking and you’re right-the worst has happened. If we survive until next week I’ll be sure to tell you what we do then.
