Down by the river

Night walk on the Hudson.

Shima came for a visit. We went to the Bryant Park Carousel.







Guess what Lucia stuck her straw in and started drinking? Raspberry shake? Juice? Nope.



Ketchup! Cyra and all of us were pretty grossed out, but in her defense, the shake shack burgers were taking a while and ketchup is pretty under-rated as an appetizer.





We took the straw away so she went for the spoon.





With my parents at the Hi-line. My dad was hilarious. They had just gotten back from Africa and he was quick to point out how post-modern and funny the Hi-line was. I mean, they planted weeds on train tracks and spent a lot of money doing it. And there is a movie theater set-up where you just watch the backs of cars.



And please don't be alarmed that I wore this dress the last time we went to the hi-line and for lots of other pictures as well. I really like it. We have been to the place like 6 times and I think I have had this dress on each time. I won't even post the other pictures.





By the river. We had a great visit with Shima and now she's back in Africa. Hopefully, we will make it out there one of these days to visit her.

Pink cupcakes = pure happiness

Have you ever seen happier faces? Except for the cupcake man.
