The weather was mild and Mother Nature was apparently pleased, as folks arrived at Orchard Beach yesterday and bared it almost all. One attendee, Peter Quinones says "Well I came with my bathing suit underneath my clothes. I was hoping that someone from staff of Friends (Pelham Bay Park) would go in the water with me holding our banner. Man what publicity with those TV cameras recording us. Well, I decided not to go in and just take some photos-maybe next year". Here are those photos, courtesy of Mr Quinones.

Facts and figures indicate that around two-thirds of couples see the quality of their relationship lower within a few years after a child arrives. Here are some key suggestions to help improve that sought after ambiance.
