Sunny Days... Chasing the Clouds Away.....

We recently enjoyed a trip to Sesame Place. We didn't tell the boys were we where heading off to, just said that we needed to "run errands". I loved seeing their faces when they realized our destination. Carter proclaimed that "he knew along we were coming to Sesame Place"!, but he and Elijah both were so surprised and we had a great time! Enjoy our pictures with our new friends and the fun stuff we did!

Who doesn't want to hang with Bert and Ernie. This is my fav from the day.

Exploring the stores on Sesame Street.

SCRAM! One last pose with Oscar before leaving.

Who Knew?.....

...certainly not me. I came up from the basement the other day to find Elijah doing THIS across the room.

Water Balloon Fun

Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Trip

We visited Jeven and Julie a couple of weeks ago and managed to do a lot of fun stuff and have a great time together in very short period of time! We were very excited for this visit, we had not been to J&J's new apartment yet and Carter had requested to visit the Statue of Liberty and the boys also wanted to ride the subway.

Much credit goes to Brian who drove in and did a great job handling quite a mess (traffic) both going into the city via the Holland Tunnel, as well as coming out of the city the next day. I know I was beginning to feel a little queasy about 30 minutes into sitting in traffic and I was only occupying the passenger's seat.

Once we hit the Brooklyn Bridge it was smooth sailing and our fun began.

Here is a view of the bridge from the Brooklyn side. All of the green that you see under it is an awesome park system that is still in progress. A truly amazing project!

Love this one! The guys strolling down the promenade and checking out the NYC skyline.
Family is everything!
(Yes, I am a freak...see those tiny gaps in the fence? I was scared to death the boys would fall through and land in the river below!)

Happy Little Lansek Family

Eli was done with pictures at this point.

Jeven and I on the ferry waiting to go to Liberty Island.

Using Uncle Jev's grill for the first time and the steak was delicious!

Cutest kids on the planet.

Some people just aren't cut out for the city life. Eli was so done here!

Plainfield Farmers Fair

With each passing year we enjoy the yummy food and visiting the animals less and less at the Plainfield Farmers Fair, instead the boys prefer to "try out" all of the mowers and tractors on display. Boys will be boys!!

Vito Visits!

In July the Vinciguerras visited us. Carter and Elijah were so happy to spend time with their pal, Vito and I loved having Christi and Vito Sr. here. We had a lot of fun catching up and playing and can't wait to make a trip to Rhode Island this fall to visit them!
