Lunch in the East Village

Another rainy day in Westfield so we decided to head to NYC for some lunch. Don heard about a vegetarian restaurant called Angelika Kitchen so we decided to check it out. The food was so-so and the service not so much. Usually those hippy veggy places have very friendly service but not today. It was decent but not worth the 30 mile drive in to the city. It took us about 45 minutes to get in to town and about and hour to get home.

After lunch we (ok, me) had a sweet tooth so we found a very hopping italian bakery. It was pretty yummy!!! Here\’s Quinn enjoying a table of his own and sorting through the sugar packets.

And Don and Quinn on the mean streets of NYC.

There\’s a new law in NYC that you will get fined for honking. I only wish I had audio with this picture so you could hear all the honking 😛

ps…I didn\’t realize how smudged my camera lens was until I got home so the pics have a filtered quality to them. Any questions about the smudging, refer to my blogpost \”Bored at the Store\” to understand 🙂

Bored at the Store

I had to run a few errands this afternoon and Quinn kept busy playing with my camera. First here\’s a cute pic of Mr. Blue Eyes. You can see that he has added a split lip to his menagerie of bumps, bruises, etc. His push walker collapsed on him and he went in to it face first. He looks a little bit like Cousin Ty in this pic.

This is a self portrait.

Sun!!

We had our first sunny day in many days today and it was great to get out and enjoy the nice weather. Quinn and I met Robin and her 2 boys at Trailside Nature & Science Center for some fun on their playground, a picnic in the grass, and then a trip through the welcome center.

Here\’s Quinn with Robin\’s curly-haired cutie Milo. You can\’t really see his face but you can get a glimpse of his gorgeous locks. Quinn\’s not looking so bad himself 😉

Here\’s our boy. Can you see the cut on his nose, the scrape on his knees, and the bruise on his forehead. He has a new adventurous streak and likes to test his limits. He is all boy!!

Going down the slide head first.

Checking out Jasper\’s technique going through the tunnel.

And making his own way.
