A couple weekends ago we went to see Kara Walker’s sculptures in the soon to be destroyed Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg with the LA kids and the Hsiao’s (Jerry, Amanda, Mae, and Leni). Here’s a nice article from the New Yorker if you want a little backstory.

After the show, and before lunch I wanted to check out a camping store. Mae and Noah didn’t.

4th of July

Friends, Holidays, Partying Comments Off on 4th of July

We had Tim, Ladonna, Chris, and Miles over on the 4th of July to chill and watch some soccer. Then out of nowhere the plan was to walk to the end of Atlantic Ave and see if we could get close to the fireworks. We joined a smallish crowd.

A few weeks ago Noah’s school invited the Fathers in for a little appreciation just before Father’s Day.

An ornament..

Later that afternoon his after-school program, Kid’s Orbit, put on a performance.

It was a musical about “good guys” (played by the kindergarteners)..
