Pier 6, waiting for the ferry to Governor’s Island.

It was a bit of a wait.

We went to Governor’s Island to see Ryan, Ellen, and Ren. Not sure why everyone else was trying to get there.

130527_44425

This woman, in typical NYC fashion, brought a megaphone to serenade the island goers with opera. Seriously.

130527_44426

Noah knew what to do though, he walked up and snatched that megaphone from her and showed her how it’s done.

Medium high-1’s (like a mellow high-5, get it?)

130527_44431

They don’t get it Ren. It’s not important though.

They dance in the streets

Welcome back to the American Museum of Natural History. I’m Kreg, and I’ll be giving you this recap.

130511_43686

Here we have Okapi. Noah drew an Okapi the other day for his mom and she had to look it up.

130511_43688

It was “I.D.” day at the museum. Visitors were encouraged to bring in things for the experts to identify. We didn’t have anything to show, but we checked out some of the cool stuff that was at the experts tables.

130511_43698

Kindergarten registration

Last week we brought Noah to P.S. 9 to register him for kindergarten next year.

As Kate sat in the sunny auditorium filling out form after form, Noah and I took off so he could get to school.

130426_42404

We got to school and realized his class was out. We dropped his stuff and as we got ready to head back out, he put his hat on backwards and said he did it to be “cool”. I asked him how “cool kids” stand.
