Noah and Kam really hit it off, it was an emotional good-bye.

After spending two nights sleeping in a tent, these two still look pretty good. I told them they’d survive. Fancy pastries for breakfast may have helped.

After breakfast, checking out the beach in Amagansett.

We met up with Uncle Bugs for breakfast in this super safe diner in a super safe part of town (those are bullet holes).

Camped out

The weekend before Noah started Kindergarten we went out on Long Island for a couple nights of camping. On the way out we had some car trouble and Uncle Bugs met up with us to help out. After the car was handled, we grabbed dinner.

Almost perfect right? Too bad we couldn’t have picked better neighbors.

Always good to be camping.

An intrepid attempt to avoid using puns.

Early September, we were taking advantage of the time we had before the start of kindergarten to explore, so we rode our bikes up to the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. Noah was psyched.

Maybe a little hesitant at first about exploring the submarine.

Up on the flight deck.

Once Noah leaned back into this capsule, it took off and he’s now in outer space on his way to Jupiter, or Uranus, or somewhere.
