a shot of the cousins! Amoz, Skye, and Claire, spent most of their time only half clad due to the heat and humidity of Philadelphia.
to celebrate the birthdays of Amoz, my dad, and me, my brother and his wife christe threw a party at a park.
Skye made a friend with Abby. the moment we took this picture, both girls shouted at the same time, "can i see? can i see?" what would we do without digital cameras?
Skye gives Amoz some loving.
at a sushi restaurant on my dad's birthday.
we visit Penn campus and Phil gets to revisit his college haunts. here we are at the broken button.
New York pix
first stop, the M&M store! Skye and i go crazy over the ceiling high dispensers filled with beautiful M&Ms!! there are even "Shrek-sized" M&Ms. Skye's favourite colours were pink, purple and turquoise.
Times Square
Skye falls in love with the doll house at the ABC Home & Carpet store.
at the carousel in Central Park.
Claire enjoys some time with grandparents at the park.
after a busy day...
people took to the streets for the Dominican Republic parade. lots of music and people dancing.
after the parade...the streets were completely deserted except for flyers and trash, it was sort of eerie.
one last gathering with my parents for my birthday at a restaurant that serves naeng-myun (it's a cold noodle dish). this is in NJ and it's the best naeng-myun i've had!!
Skye, Claire and i went to the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park and both girls loved it. Claire eventually fell asleep, but Skye was mesmerized from beginning to end.
we met up with my friend, Darlene, who lives in NY.
tea time at Alice's Tea Cup. here's Skye with her special tea goodies: pb&j on banana bread, scone, and chocolate mousse
and Claire with a book!
Claire loved playing in the bathroom sink of our hotel.
one final visit to Central Park!
we loved our time in both cities. it was hectic and full, but so much fun. it was great to catch up with family and friends. but it's also great to be back home.
