Believe it or not, sports fans, but Kate took a long overdue weekend away this past weekend, meaning I had freedom to corrupt the kids in new, different, and unsupervised ways. Cotton candy waffles for breakfast, anyone?
Actually, aside from wearing the kids out with a go-go-go schedule and unintentionally allowing them to get a heaping dose of e. coli from ingesting large amounts of grody pool water, we had a pretty normal (but fun) schedule.
Friday:
 |
| Perhaps H needed a little more supervision during his morning constitutional |
 |
| After school we visited the aquarium to see the live-action version of March of the Penguins |
 |
| This was followed by a trip to Coney Island. (There was a mermaid theme to this ride ... but H didn't seem to believe it was better down where it's wetter) |
 |
| Gone Fishin' |
 |
| Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!! |
 |
| She gets this form from her mother |
 |
| Storm's a brewing (in my head that's said in a Maine accent) |
 |
| Testing if butterflies enjoy sand baths (they do!) |
Saturday:
 |
| Roaring on the Bronx Zoo monorail |
 |
| Looking for the turtle I pointed out. "Where the shell is it?" I asked. This was met with blank stares. (He was walking right tortoise, btw) |
 |
| Kate saw this picture and said, "Oh, you let her wear three accessories." My response: ?? |
 |
| Watching a polar bear with the newly engaged couple (Congrats, guys!) |
 |
| Combing her hair with a fork while singing "Wish I could be part of that world" ... thanks for the encouragement, Auntie Bre! |
Sunday:
 |
| The Pier 6 Splash Park, well worth the 20 minutes it takes to find parking |
 |
| Very cute picture of E wading in e. coli soup |
 |
| Obligatory million-dollar-view playground time (for those familiar with Fort Hamilton, you know what I'm talking about) |
 |
| The kids' first sushi and ramen experience. Bottom line: I ended up with lots of sushi! |
