A walk in the park! Heidi Klum enjoys some quality time with her four children on sunny outing in New York

Heidi Klum and her brood took a moment to smell the roses on Sunday.

Heading to a park in the New York, the 42-year-old looked relaxed and summery as she enjoyed some quality time with Leni, 11, Henry, nine, Johan, eight, and Lou, five.

And while it would have been quite a handful to manage alone, the leggy beauty luckily had her mother Erna on hand for the outing as well as a bodyguard and nanny.

Heidi was summery chic in a black midi-length smock dress and casual but stylish flat sandals. 

She left her blonde locks loose and sported trendy circular shades while carrying a leather shopper tote to complete the look. 

The doting mom was seen holding Lou's hand as she tested her balancing skills walking along a stone wall.
