3 day weekend coolness

First off, conGRADuations to Jessica who just graduated with a masters from Teachers College!!!!

Today I went along with the 6th grade girls to Camp Kaufmann for Girl Scouts. It was nice to get out of the city and they girls had a lot of fun. It's funny how they forget to be naughty when they are out in nature having fun.

These are two of my girls Sonia and Niona. Niona ate 3 hotdogs. I told her she should enter in the contest at Coney Island and she said, "I'm gonna!"

This is my little Luz. She is very timid and was scared to go on the trip, but I made her and look how much fun she ended up having!

This Memorial Day weekend was spent with a visit from Steven Kholman and Matt Wulf.

Classic BB shot:

Saturday we checked out Coney Island...it's a weird place.

OCEAN:

They are starting to take some of it down.

Sunday we went to Dylan's co-worker's place for a BBQ. We got rained in for a bit, but Matt didn't mind.

Staten Island Ferry = Free Fun!

Lady Liberty = Thumbs Up!

newish things

Last weekend, I went on a retreat with the staff at my school. It was great, we stayed at the Mariott in Terrytown, just north of the Bronx. I really like my co-workers.

This is the view from our hotel room. Nature...
Here's my friend Natalie resting on our comfortable beds.

Yesterday Dylan used his powers of persuasion and scored us some really nice seats at Yankee Stadium for a really low price. The Yankees were playing the Twins!

The new stadium is super fancy!
Lots of big screens and things to look at...

We were so close! The left fielder could hear you if you wanted to tell him something...

This guy talked to us even though we were Twins fans.

We were having a nice time....but then things started to get a little tense.

People caught on to us and began heckling and harassing.

Here are some things that were yelled at us:

"Is that your cousin or your girlfriend?"

"They must be Twins!"

"All the denim in the world can't save you now!" (We both happened to be wearing jean jackets).

"Take a picture while someone's kicking his ass!"

"Boooooooo!"

It was pretty exciting.

The Twins lost.

Darcy's Visit

Last Thursday, Dylan's mom Darcy flew in from Iowa. We showed her all the excitement NYC has to offer...

We ate tasty food...

We got a glimpse at Lady Liberty on the Staten Island Ferry...

Randy, this photo is for you. It's a neat looking fire station.

I took lots of precious photos of Dylan and mom.

We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge...

Here's Dylan, Mike, and Darcy in Grand Central Station...

Times Square...

Then Mike brought us into the Ed Sullivan Theater and we took fun photos at Letterman's desk...

We walked along the resevoir...

Saturday night we went to a choral concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Devine and there was this peacock...

We ate Magnolia cupcakes.........yum!

Dylan looked NY cool on the subway...

For mother's day, Dylan made reservations at the Tavern on the Green! We ate a tasty brunch buffet. I was in heaven...so much good food.
