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.

Couple Saturdays ago.

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!

Otter Cliffs, Bar Island, Cadillac Mountain, and this giant cruiseship.

Morning.

This was our last full day on Mount Desert Island, and we were (Kate was) determined to wear us (me) out. We started the day at Otter Cliffs.

A quick lunch in Bar Harbor.

After lunch we walked over to Bar Island. A small island just north of downtown Bar Harbor that you can walk to at low tide.

This strain of fungi is known as banana-chipis.

The view of Bar Harbor from Bar Island.

From there, we drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest peak on Mount Desert Island.

This sums up our trip.

Check out Bar Island now. The trail/path we walked was to the left, under all that water.

Dinner.

Still posting about Maine. This was our second-to-last full day and the clouds were low so we went for a short hike that someone had recommended. 200 ft. in, Kate already found a place to sit.

Asticou Map House.

We took a different trail back that went up over a small peak, Elliot Mountain, then as we made our way down the trail we cut through Thuya Garden.

Through the door to the garden, the landscape completely changed.

Back at the house.
