we were in brooklyn for part of our day yesterday, and since it was memorial day, we stopped by the soldiers’ and sailor’s arch over by prospect park. i think the littles were more intrigued by all of the intricate figures and water happening with bailey’s fountain which is close by the arch and fun to walk around as well, but josh and i (and my sister hannah who came with us!) all enjoyed taking the chance to take in the arch as well....

josh is always good at keeping fun things on the radar, and bought tickets before they all sold out to fantasia live in concert at lincoln center with the new york philharmonic orchestra! we took eleanor and samson last saturday while my sister took conrad out on his own little afternoon date (thanks, hannah!). i hadn’t seen fantasia since i was a little girl, and it felt so nostalgic seeing it again up there on the big screen and hearing all that beautiful music!...
