Sprinklers

When we returned to New York the weather was hot enough that the park people had turned on the sprinklers in John jay park, a nearby playground. These sprinklers are strictly for entertainment purposes only seeing as the mostly water concrete. Presumably they are needed or else new York kids would still be going around and "shooting the pump", which I believe is still street lingo for opening up a fire hydrant and dancing in the geyser that erupts from within. Sadly I have never seen this New York tradition in action so I guess these legitimate sprinklers not only keep Bluet entertained, but also help reduce crime.

Balloon #1

Last Sunday, before Emily flew off for a Job interview in Wyoming, we went out for Brunch, and Bluet acquired her first balloon, waiting for her tied to the high chair. At first it puzzled her, but once we got home she was dragging it around the house. Sadly the helium has almost all gone, but this historic balloon is captured for all time in pictorial form.

After brunch, we went to the play park.
