A quick update



It has been a quiet week, and I suddenly realized that I have not posted during the past seven days, so thought I would just check in today.

Last Sunday was a magnificent day with moderate temperatures and low humidity so we headed off to Governor’s Island. It is a ten minute ferry ride from lower Manhattan to the island, but most of the activities are only open on the weekends and in any case the drive down to lower Manhattan would be no fun on a weekday. We caught the first ferry over and spent a few hours walking around (technically, Barry walked and I rode). Here are some of the views from the island. There were a lot of people visiting that day but it is fairly large so did not feel terribly crowded. There is a paved walk around the entire perimeter that is about two miles long.



Almost every day, the camps where our grandchildren are spending this first month of vacation post pictures on their web pages. There are literally hundreds of pictures and I try to keep up with going through all of them to find good ones of our grandchildren. Here are some nice ones I have found over the past week or so since I last shared pictures on the blog.

It comes as no surprise that almost all of the pictures of Joshua feature some sort of ball in his hands or in mid-air!



Here are a couple of Maya; the first one is with one of her Sharon friends.



Ella seems to be spending a lot of time honing her artistic skills, but she’s also having fun with the camp-wide activities.






Hope everyone is having a nice summer!

Love,

Rebecca
