Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

The other week when Noah was home from school the day after having a low fever. He was feeling better and his fever was gone so we went back to the Children’s Museum of the Arts to play around.

Kate with her new bike. Geared… step-through… no child seat… #luxury.

While Kate cruised through Prospect Park and then effortlessly zipped through a few busy Brooklyn streets, I lumbered behind her sweating and struggling to pedal myself and Noah to Green-wood Cemetery.

Green-wood is a giant place with over 500,000 “permanent residents”.

When we came across this statue, I knelt down and talked to Noah about the consequences of shoplifting.

“Other”

The heat.

We were in town for the 4th of July weekend and needed to get out of the heat so we went up to Queens to show Kate around the New York Hall of Science.

Start off with some easy block building.

Some decorative skateboards.

Learning about pitch by drumming the rubber part of tube as Kate changes it’s length like a trombone.

FYI.

Mirrors.

Space cadet.

Checking out some cosmic rays.

Science!

The day after the Cyclones game with the Charests, we took them to the Museum of Natural History because it’s cool.

For the record I was telling Noah that he couldn’t do this as I took the photo.

These two made out beneath this giant crab for a while. Strange.

Mark and Tyler in the disco elevator.

My doppelgänger.

Later we made cookies with the cookie cutters Aunt Mindy sent to Noah as a graduation present.

This was supposed to be a horse I think…
