Jones Beach

Friends invited us to the beach. An amazing spot. We were actually alone! It was gorgeous. Some of us had a very hard time leaving. Gaël was ready to never leave.

War Horse

Today was grey and wet, a perfect day to go to the matinee. Luckily through High 5 we had tickets to War Horse. The horses were amazing. THe real surprise were the moments where the characters reached out across enemy lines.

Back under the rain.

Yves had to leave early to make his opera class. 

Cucumber Smile

Today was a day at home for everyone but me who had a coop shift and shopping to do.
And pick a few things from the roof!
Finn came to join the boys and play games.

Sondheim in the Park

Today, Gabriel, Lucien and Felix got up early, 6:15, to get to the Delacorte Theater to stand in line for Into the Woods. The line was enormous and they were at the "rock of no hope" but they ended up with amazing seats!


Everyone enjoyed the show.

I loved the set.
After Nathalie invited us to her restaurant for a bite to eat.

Delicious, as always.
On the way home we drove Felix through Times Square.

Times Square with Felix

After an unsuccessful attempt for lottery tickets to Wicked we walked through Times Square and then over to the Highline.  We were exhausted. In the afternoon, we had gone swimming at Carmine. Felix and Gaël made frequent use of the diving board.

Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Up to mishchief, diverting water.

The pump in the children's garden is still a favorite.

And of course the favorite climbing tree.

We all loved this exhibit. Patrick Dougherty created it with volunteers in honor of the Garden's centennial. 

This one is a natural.
