Summertime 2007

We lay in a hammock, sometimes alone ...

... sometimes together.

Sometimes with the whole family ...

... which got a bit crowded.

And sometimes just to talk.

The boys ate their fill of sushi ...

... freshly made.

And we played some games.

We visited New York City ...

... where we ate hot dogs on the street.

We ate at a diner, too.

The boys climbed on the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park, marvelling at how much smaller it seems now that they are grown.

And we visited the place where it all began.


We went to Florida where True put up a lemonade stand.

It was slow going at first ...

... but eventually the customers came.

True told us all about it afterward.

We congratulated him for his gumption.

Of course, we spent plenty of time at the beach.

The weather was wonderful.

Sky loves the ocean most of all.

We waded ...

... and skipped.

Then we floated down the beautiful Ichetucknee!

When we got back to the beach, we flew a kite high, high in the sky. Look close and you can see it.

The string eventually broke and it flew away.

The boys had their fair share of milk shakes ...

... and generally enjoyed themselves.


They went to New Jersey next, where they visited an air show.

They hung out with their cousin Pierce ...

... and spent plenty of time in front of computers.

They did get out, though.

This was after a game of miniature golf.

There were board games, too.

The competition was fierce.

True had clam chowder in a bread bowl.

And we bought a birthday cake for Mark.

Back in New York, we took Sky and his friend, Conor, to the United Nations.

They seemed to like it.

Sky was impressed by the General Assembly Hall.

Later, we went to see a Broadway musical.
