Memorial Day

The day began with some finger paint.

It continued with a visit to Tom's. Sam was nonchalant about his lemonade (Daddy, why is it pink?) but Otis understood the brilliance of it immediately.

After chocolate chip pancakes, the boys discovered Sam's name on the sidewalk. Otis showed it his belly.

Marveling.

Pointing.

Stepping

Even upside down, it still spells Sam.

Even with a head tilted to the side and in motion, it still says Sam.

Look - it says Sam!

Then it was off to Prospect Park Zoo to feed the ducks. 

This is how Wright and Reyes often spent their off days together over the past several years.

Strutting.

Back at the homestead, the boys enjoyed a pre dinner treat.

Brooklyn Bridge Park & A Barbecue

Sand!

Sam was completely oblivious to the sand in his hair.

Contemplative Sammy

Sit down back there!

Otis was the perfect passenger.

And the perfect clubhouse attendant.

Later in the day, it was cookout time to hang out with James, Justin, and new buddy Isaac.

This picture captures some of the zaniness.

So proud.

Ah!!!!!!!

James thought the boys were hilarious.

Our First Trip to the Queens Zoo

Elliott and Otis started the day off right.

There's nothing like this at the Prospect Park Zoo!

Oh my god, where did Elliott go?

Look out!

Lunch time.

After lunch, it was time for some Lemon Ice in Corona. We enjoyed the treat while watching some bocce in the park.

Cool guys.

Happy Birthday Halmony!

The boys recently have had a change in their routine. We let their nanny go - long story. But Sujan was able to go to art class with them one day so that was a good thing. 

Otis was skeptical. What's new?

Giving a 3-year-old a sharpie is a brave act.

Puzzles are a new favorite pastime.

We have found an amazing nanny for the summer. Not only are the boys in love with her but she also takes awesome photos. The remaining pictures in this post were all taken by her.
