Victoria Gardens

We took the kids to Victoria Gardens, a little amusement park at Central Park. It was perfect for our kids' ages. It was Circus Day, so we got to watch some magician, ventriloquists and acrobat shows. It was a really fun day!

Central Park and Broadway in Bryant

From the many posts of us going to Central Park, you can tell the we love going there.

The stone slide

Another park that we really like is Bryant Park. This Summer they had "Broadway in Bryant", where every week,  Broadway actors came to perform Broadway show songs.

Baillios come to visit

Celeste and her family came to visit us. Our first guests in NY! We played at Central Park, had pizza at Grimaldis, went to the Times Square Toys'R us and then visited Sony Wonder Lab.

Beach

Another hot day! Bryce took the day off and we went rode the train to a beach in Brooklyn (Jacob Riis beach). We had fun making sand castles and playing in the water.

Zarkana Cirque du Soleil

Bryce and I went on date (thank you Erin for watching the boys!) and we saw Cirque du Soleil show Zarkana.  Amazing acrobatics! We had a blast!

Picnic Goonies

The church members on Roosevelt Island had a picnic. The kids did crab fishing at the East River. Sam almost fell in the river and Lucas had a lot of fun playing with dirt. Those things happen when moms are having fun talking and neglect their kids. :) At night, they were showing Goonies on a big screen by the Queensborough Bridge.

Moma

We went to the Museum of Modern Art (free admission on Fridays). They were showing Pixar Short Movies and after that we checked out the museum. Here is a picture of the original Van Gogh's "Starry Night"
