Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween. The warmest one I can remember in a long time and thankfully, the rain cleared in time for the kids to go trick or treating.

This was the first year we carved a pumpkin with the kids. Chloe is as always, fearless, and dug right in, literally. Stay tuned for Halloween costume pictures!

This year we decided to take the kids to a bigger farm outside of NYC. They loved it and the weather was beautiful. They had lots of kids activities including a hay maze, train ride, monster truck ride, pony ride, and of course, lots of pumpkins. #ortfarms

 

Chloe’s First Broadway Show (Frozen)

Chloe’s First Broadway Show (Frozen)

I had entered the LuckySeat lottery and had thought it might take a few tries to get “lucky” for a pair of tickets to Frozen. I had hoped I would get them around her birthday, but it came sooner than expected. So we went! And I loved every moment sharing this special time with Chloe. From sitting at a bar in an Italian restaurant before the show at the age of 5, to watching a play unfold before her eyes (she was mesmerized) and taking the subway home at 11pm at night – it was a memorable night, one that I will not forget and I hope Chloe remembers it too.  I love you Chloe.

Visiting Avignon

Visiting Avignon

Our visit to Avignon was amazing ~ it was so good to see all of the family! The kids had an amazing time and they keep asking when we are going back!

Our flight was supposed to originally depart at 10:50pm but was delayed till 11:45pm. The kids napped late that day but it was still a long day for them. They were great sports and absolutely thrilled to wait at the airport since they were “told” that the movies on their ipads ONLY work at the airport (we’ll see how many more years I can keep that up!).

We didn’t actually take off until 1:15am and by then, the kids were pretty delirious and happy to close their eyes.

The first day after we arrived, the whole family was in town. It was so great to see everyone! Got some great pictures of all the kiddies!

And then the kids were very eager to get in the pool! They’ve come a long way from last year when they first got into a swimming pool!

And even when the kids weren’t in the pool, they were having a grand ol’ time.

We visited the Saturday market in a little town near Avignon.

We also saw a great fireworks display over Avignon.

And Helene and Andre took the kids to an awesome adventure park! Thank you Helene and Andre!

Until next time, see you soon!
