Nickelodeon's World Wide Day Off

On Saturday September 24, 2011 my grand daughter told me that Nickelodeon had a world wide take your kids to the park day. She said "grandma I would like to go to the park and jump rope."  I was so tired but how can I say no to my grand daughter and to such a wonderful thing Nickelodeon has done.  I said " ok  grand daughter get dressed"  and I took her and my 14 year old to the park.  Let me say that although I don't jump rope, I enjoyed taking pictures in the park.  My favorite is taking pictures of the George Washington Bridge and New Jersey.  I love the beautiful view I can see from Manhattan to New Jersey especially when the sun is setting.  I think it was a great idea because kids who watch Nickelodeon are being encouraged to go out and play or do some kind of activity instead of just watching television the whole day.  We spent the day walking and discovered some insects on the ground, took pictures of a seagull, watched the geese's as they ate things from the grass and all the bees feeding from the nectar of the beautiful flowers. What a wonderful day I had with my two favorite girls. I hope Nickelodeon keeps up the great job their doing and hope other channels will pick up this beautiful trend the channel has done.
