The other week, Aransas offered to host a BBQ for the kids before they left Hanson Place and Ms. Yelena took her up on it. The kids set up their cots before we left.

After Clio’s birthday we rode our bikes to Red Hook for brunch at Fort Defiance with Kate’s friend Jen who was in town from Las Vegas.

We came across this place that runs a digital photo booth and the Noahs got sucked in.

It was Clio’s turn to have a birthday, and when it came around, she had it at the Prospect Park Carousel and we horsed around.

The gang. Isaac has a crazy English accent now, I shouldn’t have been surprised.

It was a quick visit, The Westlake’s already had plans, but I think they left extra quick when we ran out of drink.
