What a beautiful week! That is, until the rain came, barely stopped and then began again Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.….

Hint: He is a dinosaur aficionado.

Did you participate in the Valentine’s Day 5K Run at Conference House Park or hike in one of the parks this week? There is so much to do outdoors on Staten Island especially with the changeable weather we have been having.  Get your boots on, bundle up and breathe the fresh air!  I learned how to…
