Fierce dragon in a cave
Bouncy home plate
The activities were all pretty creative that evening
Twisty and splashy

Hot weekend
Soccer spectators
Victory for the Eagles, 3-1!!!
It has been warm enough for a backyard pool
But not hot enough not to shiver…

Various times and places
We love the zoo budgies!
Little league spectator
Back when we had that warm spell
Waiting for Hazey to finish soccer practice

New York: Woodstock & family
The Catskills were a beautiful setting for a visit with extended family
We took a multigenerational walk
To an awesome rope swing
And some gorgeous trees & views
Cousins once removed
We bopped into the artsy town of Woodstock
Get it? Woodstock?
Smiles! (Mostly…)
Games!
More games!
We participated in a lovely, non-traditional Passover seder featuring Landry as the narrator and Annie as a Rabbi and God 🙂
So wonderful to be together!

New York: Mohonk
We spent a day hiking in the early spring wilderness of the Shawangunk Mountains at beautiful Mohonk Mountain House!
Summit selfie with Sky Top Tower
But first: early spring deciduous forest & stream
Quaint wooden bridges
Sticks and ledges
AND….gazebos!
Gazebos for parents!
Gazebos on tiny islands!
Gazebos for withering glances!
Gazebos on the edge of heart stopping cliffs!
Here the children clung to each other in the wind at the top of the tower. Dramatic

New York: Chappaqua
On our third day in NY we took Metro North from Grand Central Terminal!
Three of us rode forward facing
Hazel rode opposite us with some of our bags
We ate the bagels of my dreams in Chappaqua
And enjoyed a new playground at my old middle school (locally called, simply, “Bell”)
10 Debby is looking pretty good! Familiar enough.
Carvel soft serve in Pleasantville: straight out of childhood!

Twelve on the 12th
Today is Hazel’s golden birthday!
We had snacking cake for breakfast
Then sent her off to sixth grade camp…
Cherry trees at Landry’s school are blooming!
