Too interesting to turn around

We are coming to the end of a 2 week vacation - one week expected due to Passover and the other an extra due to construction at the boys' preschool. To try to keep all of us sane and happy, I planned an event to center around every day. Sometimes it was ambitious - a trip to the Manhattan Children's Museum or The Statue of Liberty. Other times it was something small and close to home - a picnic in the park and a play session at a 'far-away' playground. It has been a highly successful strategy and the dreaded weeks have flown by for all of us. Looking through my most recent photo download I ran across a few instances in which I had absolutely failed to get the boys to turn around they were so completely engaged.

The water lily pond at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden - spotting some goldfish.

Finger snapping and clapping cannot compete with the view of crashing waves and the Manhattan skyline (as seen from Liberty Island).

The fountain at The Brooklyn Museum of Art. If Sam turned around you would see that he is soaked from the mighty splashes.

I remember one hot day where the boys and I spent almost an hour at the fountain in front of the BMA. We got some gelato from the vendor, and just watched the "show".
