Storm King

On Saturday Kate rallied us to drive up to Storm King, a sculpture park about an hour north of NYC. It’s an amazing place, especially on a warm Fall day without a cloud in the sky.

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

Trip to the playground last Sunday while Kate was at yoga.

Tooling around the Atlantic Antic, a street fair on one of Brooklyn’s busiest streets.

Lil’ tipper.

Checking out some old buses.

Watching other kids break rules.

Just like all the NYC buses, people pushing on as you try to get off.

That’s it.

A couple Sunday’s ago Grant, Kate, Oliver, and Maxine invited a bunch of us over.

I’m determined to get Noah hyped on his scooter.

Spider-boy was there..

Happy Derbs, aka the girl of many nicknames, aka Derbils.

Derby is getting into this walking thing.

“You gonna help me or just keep playing with that camera?” Sorry Derbs.

Cake with Amelie (who is in Noah’s class at Hanson Place).

Thanks to Grant and Kate for inviting us over!

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.

One Saturday morning, itching to get out.

Noah still psyched on the American Flag.

We went up to 57th St. to see a few photo shows. Noah made himself at home in the galleries.

Sitting on the counter at the lunch spot.

Central Park.

“Let’s check out this carousel”.

“Whoa, angry horses”.

Noah thinking that I didn’t “sell” this idea well.

Playground. No, really it is.

See, there were things to climb.

Rocks to slide on.

Look, there’s mom watching our stuff.

NYC Parks. Fun for all!
