Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

One last performance at Hanson Place. A little bittersweet, but at least it was a mellow performance to show off the singing and signing that the kids have been learning (or not learning well if you spent a week in Cape Cod while everyone else practiced).

The younger kids.

Something for me.

I like this one.

Jasper’s was pretty good too.

After some basketball drills it was back in the car for the ride back to NYC. Vacation done.

To cap of a pretty great week in Cape Cod, we drove up to NH for a surprise anniversary party for my parents.

All decorations by Aunt Mindy.

Waiting patiently with Nana T. and Opa, who drove up from Brooklyn for the party.

Great times.

Bummed.

Psyched.

After a few hours we were in Milan, NH for Nana and Grampa Holt’s surprise anniversary party.

Aunt Mindy did a great job decorating the inn we rented for the party.

Happy Fourth of July!!
