Pinkalicious and NYC

Last weekend we packed the kids and headed down to NYC to spend time with Susy!  Since we were going to be in the city we also decided to take Vanessa to see Pinkalicious...the Musical.  LOL!  Yup.  Her favorite book come to life.  We made it a girls day and yes...we all (even Tia Susy) wore PINK.  The show was pretty darn cute and Vanessa was most excited about being able to meet Pinkalicious after the show.  So very cute!  It was great to see Susy and both kids were very much into their Tia.  Roman thought she was hysterical (little does he know just how funny she can be).  We explored the city, hit the sprinkler park and of course had dinner at Caracas Arepa Bar....yummmmm.  (I should have brought home seconds)  Pretty sure Tia Susy was sad to see us leave.  We're hoping for a return trip soon!!

LOVING getting wet!

NYC Ballet

One of the very cool things about living where we live is the State Park, especially in the summer.  It's a great place to hang out, picnic, run, golf, swim and of course see some good concerts.  The other very cool thing is that for two weeks in July the NYC Ballet comes, this year we took the kids to the opening which was "Family Night" and went.  It was a nice night and although we didn't stay for the entire show (who starts a "Family Night" at 8pm????) we had fun and Vanessa got to see some ballerina's.  Prior to the show there were two dancers who came out and taught the kids a few steps.  Pretty comical to watch!  Of course Vanessa wanted to be right there.  Maybe someday I'll be buying point shoes?
