Swimming with Dragon(fly)s

Miles and Bernadette.The beginning of an expedition to the water fall. Warming up on the rocks after the hike up the river to the waterfall which turned out to be a dam.







The cat was very interested in the badminton. Waiting for a chance at the birdie.

A Tree Fort of sorts

I finally pruned the trees, well the ones I could reach with a ladder. Gael took all the branches to make a fort on top of the play structure. Too bad I can't prune the trees everyday for him!

A long, long day of Adventure in the city

We all went to see Up in 3D.
We loved it! Gabriel Then we decided to walk around Times Square.We walked all the way up to Central Park, looking at all the strange stores, M&M, Hershey...free chocolate kiss... A moment of contemplation.
Central Park Pond, wildlife.
The Polar Bear in the zoo was very entertaining. Camille met up with Alicia and her friends, and Ann to go to the MOMA. Where we decided to follow.
Gael still loves the penquins. Why don't we have these pigeons in NY?!
This reminded me of when Camille and Yves were little. The lovely lily pads in the children's zoo. I remember when Yves was two and missed, soaking wet at the end of Fall but he continued on unfazed. Lucien had a lot of fun diverting water in the Plaza fountain.
In the MOMA we had a lot of fun with this sculpture and its many reflections.
Gael enjoyed cooling his feet in the garden.


This sculpture invited people to sit....


but the temptation was too much.
