The Past Few Weeks...

Here's a group of photos from some outings in July. I decided to include them all on one post since I am weeks behind on the blog! Sorry about that, but the lazy days of summer have arrived.

A couple weeks ago, Ben (friend from high school) and his wife Joanna were in town. They have been working in Nigeria for the past year and came back to the US for a few week's vacation. We went out to dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaraunts, Supper. We hadn't seen Ben and Joanna since their wedding, so it was fun to catch up and hear stories about their adventures in Africa.




Every summer, the New York Philharmonic performs concerts at parks in all five boroughs. This year, we went to the concert in Prospect Park. It was something fun and new to try and we had a great time! There were even fireworks after the performance - amazing. It was the closest I have EVER been to a big fireworks show. I still haven't mastered taking pictures of fireworks, so you will just have to take my word for it. I need to have my dad teach me how to do that....





There was also a pretty cool sunset that made me feel like I had stepped into a painting. I love sunsets.




We also watched another Cyclones game - this time we sat in the real seats (those bleachers are rough on the backside). It was Billy Joel Night - which meant they played all Billy Joel songs. Unfortunately, the Piano Man did not make an appearance. (That big tower in the background used to be the Parachute Drop ride. It is now a historical landmark and is no longer operating).
