Who Knew??

We went down to lower Manhattan today, with a few ideas of what we wanted to see and do. Little did we know what we would run into on Wall Street. Apparently this is kind of a big deal round here and we got to see it, if only I had a pillow I could have been a part of it. It was hilarious and crazy and I couldn't stop laughing about the whole thing. I had no idea that the third Saturday in March is Worldwide Pillow Fight Day. And they totally celebrate it here in NY. Did you? Go grab your pillows and kids and have at er. Can't rearrange the order of the pics so this is it, all mumble jumbled.

The streets were packed with people, police and feathers flying everywhere. Some of the after math, seriously feathers and fluff EVERYWHERE.

People, people and more people. We were seriously just trying to get down the street, Ryan pushing Sadie in her stroller, when all of the sudden...

someone would blow a whistle or just yell, "pillow fight" and it all unfolded right before our eyes.

This is some of the die hards, I think. They all ran out along the boardwalk and a few jumped up on this cargo thing and were totally owning the crowd. Nothing like a bunch of crazies chanting, "Pillow fight, pillow fight" and the people raising their pillows up in the air.

Of course there was loads of police on hand, to make us feel so safe. Like, how much damage can 5000+ people in pyjamas armed with pillows do? The authorities managed to use some enforcing to an "innocent" girl

It was so funny to see a few people yell out, "pillow fight" and the people and pillows just came running.

Another crazy day in New York.

If you're as into this as I am here is one more from last year.
