Taking after Grandpa Estler

Buildings

Here are a couple buildings we passed on our journey in Philly. I altered one of them.

Poop

This was a shirt we saw at the zoo today. Thought about getting for Tyler.

Clean

Tyler did an awesome cleaning job of our living room. I'm not embarrassed to have company over now.

Surprise!

I have to apologize to Dani as I meant to put this post up when she was in NYC and never got a chance to do so.  So here it is...

Tyler, Dylan and I thought it was be fun and nice to surprise Dani in NYC when she arrived for work.  I went to work for the morning and took the afternoon off.  I met Grandparents Estlers and my boys on the same train (they left from our house) and it just so happened Dani was able to catch the same train from Newark Airport.  When she came to our train car she had a HUGE smile on her face happy to see us all. 

This was Dylan' first train ride and trip to NYC with more to come in the near future.

 When we arrived to NYC we stopped at Dani's hotel first to drop her stuff off and check out the observation deck.  

view of central park

After we checked out the views and room we walked over to have some dinner at Shake Shack.  They had awesome burgers and shakes for a NY price! Next we walked over to Central Park and ended up in Strawberry Fields. 

We had a great time and Dani was delightfully happy for the surprise.  



Sunset concert

We've had a busy weekend & it concluded with a surprise visit to Lavallette to see the Ragtimers. Grandpa Estler was happy to see us.

Sample of the music

Dylan even had a visit with Jamie & Joy Nokes

Beautiful way to end the night & weekend!

2nd play date

After lunch Dylan & I went to visit Zoe & her parents for a play date. They went swimming & played with all of Zoe's toys.
