Maxwell Place

Here we are on a beautiful Saturday morning at the new waterfront promenade which was once the site of the Maxwell Coffee Factory, now it's super-luxury condo's with a pretty sweet view.

Mini Splash Castle

This is a waterpark in our town, referred to as "The Silly Waterpark", by Giacomo, and "Mini Splash Castle", by Dorian. Dorian calls it that because when we went to Sesame Place they had a waterpark with a HUGE bucket that dumped water on people and that was called "Splash Castle", so this reminds him of that. It's only a few blocks from our home and we love it!

Puppetonia

Here is Dorian dressed up like a chicken at Puppetonia, a toddler music and puppetshow I take him to every week.

Pier 84

Here are some pics from a recent outing we took to Pier 84 and the ferry over there.

Pier 84, next to the Intrepid, has a fantastic new fountain the kids can play in and a little waterpark with rivers and dumpers. The fountain has jets that spray up in a random sequence, so you don't know if they will spray for a long time or in short bursts, so needless to say the boys enjoyed themselves there for a solid 2 hours 'til it was time to mosey south along the Hudson River to another favorite waterpark/playground and enjoy some much deserved ice-pop treats!

Two's Program

Here's Dorian painting a turtle at the "Two's Program" at the pre-school he's going to attend in September.

Art in the Park

Here is Dorian at Art in the Park. It's free toddler art and activity each Monday and Wednesday morning throughout the summer. Since its free its usually packed! We go some weeks, but other weeks the crowd is just too intense. But its Free, and we like that ;-)

Scootin'

Even Dorian gets in on the fun!

Swim Camp

Here's Giacomo at the week-long swim camp he just attended. I'm so proud of him. Now he can jump in the pool, dunk underwater, and float on his back, 3 things he could not do before. He loves swimming so much, looks like we'll have to start going more regularly!

Count Spider

Some dress-up fun with Seda and Islie.

Bubble Crazy!

This is what you get when you put bubble bath in a jacuzzi and turn on the jets! Tons of fun, and surprisingly noone got hurt!
