East Coast Summer Vacation

Hey all, a wonderful time was had by the Carpenter family on our summer vacation 2010. Mommy/Lourdes took a week and a half off work, and we traveled east to spend an extended weekend with the Groeschners of Connecticut (Mark, Nikki, Arlo and forthcoming baby boy), followed by three days in our old haunt of Brooklyn and New York City. We spent a day in Cleveland on the way back with Jan (Wittry) Royer and her son Finn, but unfortunately didn't take any pictures there. We've got a lot of memories to regale you with some other time, but here are a few shots to give you a taste.

Arlo, Sophia and Samari enjoy a trip to CT farm.

The Carpenters and Groeschners saddle up for walk to the park.

C'mon Sophia!

Great take on their personalities...
Our two smile but don't know where to look,
while Arlo fixes right on the eye/camera.

They've got this great new water park down by the Brooklyn piers.
In Amelia French's neighborhood, lucky girl.

Posing with Jennifer Singer on our brief trip to her apt.
That night, we had great fun at a party at the French's place,
but no photos from our camera. :(

The kids and Mom test out the classic 'dancing piano' at FAO Schwarz.

Waitin' for a train. Samari slept most of the time on the subway,

but Sophia got to where she would pronounce
whether the right train (orange F) was on its way.

Thanks to everyone who hosted/partied with us on our trip. Not sure when we'll make it out there again, but it was great fun and a good refresher before school starts and the leaves start falling.
