You're not in Marshall County

Mom, Dad and I gave Marian a break this afternoon and drove down to Brooklyn to look at the Waterfalls, the summer art installation on the waterfront visible from Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. You can see one pouring onto Dad's head and another in the distance across the water. It was noted that this project might not work in Marysville. We walked along the East River and explored the park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. There was plenty of sculptures for Dad to check out as he looked for the perfect artist to use at Lincoln Center. It was a beautiful day, partly cloudy and breezy.

Farmers' market food samples. (Liz and I went to the Bronxville farmers' market this morning and foraged.)

Anniversary party

We had dinner at Grimaldi's followed by ice cream on the water. Magda, Pete and Liz met us to help us celebrate. Wish all the other folks that contributed to the wedding in any way could have been there, but I guess we only get to throw a party like that on years divisible by five.

With bridges

On Monday Marian and I headed to Brooklyn to celebrate our first anniversary after a fun day of baby appointments, hotdogs, and more. From the piers below the Brooklyn Bridge the views included one of this summer's biggest public art projects in New York. Read more about the project by Olafur Eliasson.

More Grimaldi's

Don't be fooled. Luke decided he didn't like pizza that much after a few bites. He did not have the same problem with ice cream half an hour later.

This is the freight elevator control in Liz's Brooklyn apartment building. Jimmy and Peter are quite proficient in getting the contraption to stop level with the doors.
