A slice of summer!

I know that winter is knocking at the door here in New York, but we had such a wonderful summer I had to try to record some of our favorite memories.

 

We all woke up early one morning and took the subway downtown to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was such a scenic walk and it was so nice to beat the crowds. The bridge is usually packed, but other than some early morning runners we had the bridge to ourselves.

 

 My two little city girls walked the whole bridge without a word of complaint. I was especially impressed by our little Lyla, besides a quick banana break for some refueling Lyla walked to whole way. For much of the walk she strummed her hand along the railing. Even when a trash can got in her way, she happily strummed the trash can.

 After our long walk across the bridge we decided to walk an additional 30 minutes to take the East River Ferry back instead of the subway, it was well worth the walk. We all loved the ferry.

After spending 7 years in NYC we haven't spent much time in Brooklyn, even though it is less mile away. This summer we decided to make up for lost time and the girls and I enjoyed a trip to DUMBO. The windiest ride ever on the East River Ferry was definitely a highlight of the trip.

 DUMBO had 5 playgrounds to choose from, the water playground was the girls favorite!
