(note – Not my best photos, I took the seat of a proud parent for this)

First up, the lil’, lil’ ones.

Proud parents everywhere.

The second group (the 2 year olds) kind of fell apart.

Intermission. Twin violinist, the daughter’s of Ms. Shameka who works in the office.

Next up, Noah’s class.

Group song.

The girls were snowflakes.

The boys were elves.

Noah cheesing at us.

His well practiced bow.

A quick vid of the elves performance.

They closed it out with the big kids (4 year olds).

Noah was proud of himself, or maybe he was proud of the red turtleneck he had to wear. Either way, he was happy to see us.

Eric and Laura came over to help too (i.e. show us what to do).

Decorate one, eat three… surprised?

Derbs after a fight with some pasta.

Drunk snowmen.

Tis’ the season.

Then we met up with this girl…

…and Nana and Opa for a trip into the city to see Santa.

The sun was bright and the line was long..

But we made it inside right before Santa took a break.

Derbs!

This was Noah’s 4th year visiting Santa at ABC, the excitement showed on his face.

Faker.

Then, a little something for me.

This might be the year…

Kicking leaves most of the way.

Zoo!

Sea lion feeding brings em’ out.

Cold walk home.

That cream background is $!!

You ready for this one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

You sure?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a good one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, Kate and I were bent over laughing. It’s so good I might have to make a wall mural of it.

Steady cheezin’.

Bright blue sky, not a cloud in sight.

Off to Derby’s horse themed first birthday party.

Maxine congratulating Derby.

Competitor.

Sophie

A little more play time until we head off to our second birthday party of the day.

Happy Birthday Derbs, thanks for inviting us to party with you.

Like any good rebellion, you need a leader – in this case Ms. Yelena – and a good pep talk.

Noah’s costume of choice for this “occupation”: a parrot to represent the colorful lies of the 1%.

Send in the dragons first, to intimidate.

Then show ‘em our strength in numbers!

See how nervous the “suits” are?

The “fall” of big business (I’m guessing).

Logan

Laila and her mom

Dr. Noah C.

Can’t let the man keep us down with crowded elevators.

Admit it, you don’t read my captions.

Back to the class to celebrate our success.

Nooria

Back in our apartment, taking stock of our loot.

…until… (to be continued)

It’s an amazing place, especially on a warm Fall day without a cloud in the sky.

Lunch photo by Kate.

The rock wall above, by Andy Goldsworthy has great dimensions, 5 ft by 2,278 ft. If you’ve never seen “Rivers and Tides” I highly recommend it (Netflix has it).

Richard Serra has three or four of these there.

Noah is picking the Buddha’s nose…

Noah and I were really into this Mirror Fence by Alyson Shotz.

Dumbo and the great new carousel.

Oh hey, a gorilla…

Oh hey! Derby!

Savannah wasn’t into the carousel.

A show. This lady, on the left, drove a nail into her nose. Real kid friendly stuff.

This dude juggled knives on a rope made of toilet paper.

Then there was this.

Done.

Noah missed a lot of it.

It’s all good though, ’cause I had my friend record it on his iPad.

Grown men DJ’ing.

Parents, parenting.

The parade ends behind The Brooklyn Museum where a big stage is set up for groups to perform.

Savannah was into it.

Our house tour started with the garden.

This will be the new master bedroom.

Berto.

Tidy cookie eating.

Fancy lunch at Jordan Pond.

Eagles and stuff.

Obstacles that needed to be overcome.

Then there was an accident and a wardrobe change.

Learning that some obstacles are easier than others.

Feels like there is a troll at every bridge lately.

Fellow hikers.

Back at the house, waiting for sunset.

Right before sunset Kate and I went to check out the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. A: to see it at sunset and get an easy photo, and B: to see who else was out trying to get some easy photos.

Fellow photo-enthusiasts.

The pier near the house we rented.

Nosey roommates.
