Over the 4th of July weekend, with the city still smoldering in the summer heat, we stopped by Jerry and Amanda’s to meet Leni.

After brunch we rode our bikes (did I tell you about the unbearable heat?) to Prospect Park.

We were in town for the 4th of July weekend and needed to get out of the heat so we went up to Queens to show Kate around the New York Hall of Science.

Start off with some easy block building.

Learning about pitch by drumming the rubber part of tube as Kate changes it’s length like a trombone.

The day after the Cyclones game with the Charests, we took them to the Museum of Natural History because it’s cool.

For the record I was telling Noah that he couldn’t do this as I took the photo.

Later we made cookies with the cookie cutters Aunt Mindy sent to Noah as a graduation present.

This was supposed to be a horse I think…

Hot dog race. Everyone picks their favorite condiment.

Relish? Who picks relish besides Kate…

T-shirt toss.

After the game we tried to leave before the fireworks started, because Noah still isn’t a fan, but we didn’t quite make it.
