The other week when Noah was home from school the day after having a low fever. He was feeling better and his fever was gone so we went back to the Children’s Museum of the Arts to play around.

Good weekend.

One spooky Sunday at Green-wood Cemetery

Kate with her new bike. Geared… step-through… no child seat… #luxury.

While Kate cruised through Prospect Park and then effortlessly zipped through a few busy Brooklyn streets, I lumbered behind her sweating and struggling to pedal myself and Noah to Green-wood Cemetery.

Green-wood is a giant place with over 500,000 “permanent residents”.

130714_937

When we came across this statue, I knelt down and talked to Noah about the consequences of shoplifting.

Relish? Who picks relish besides Kate…

This guy.

T-shirt toss.

130629_339

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.
