Hanging out at the park. . .Holmdel Park...

Like I said on the previous post, Holmdel Park is close by and the kids love to go there and hang out (I guess the backyard is just not big enough..). Had some spare time before dinner, so, the family decided to go to park and just chill.

Can't get enough of Crystal's smile


I don't know what he saw, but he certainly didn't like it.


Practice driving already. Everyone, get off the road!


Joshua is examining the leaves...Do I see a botanist in the future?

Holmdel Park Picnic

Summer is finally winding down and we are just trying to catch the last bit of nice weather and put it to good use before the leave start falling. Holmdel Park is a very nice park. It has tons of open space for the kids to run around and a good size picnic area with tables and benches for you to get your grub on.

Out of focus picture, but I love Joshua's expression.


Another our of focus picture (Man, I need a DSLR ;p). I found this one very funny. Guess how fast Joshua's going?

Philadelphia Zoo

During the labor day weekend, I took a day off from work and drove the family to the "City of Brotherly Love", Philadelphia and visited the zoo. The zoo is quite big and had all sorts of exhibits and animals(although the "Big Cats" section was under renovation). We bought a year pass, so, expect to see other series from Philadelphia Zoo in the future.

Come on Joshua, wave to to Daddy...


Yeesss, can I help you?

Dutch Wonderland - Part 2

We had such a wonderful time at Dutch Wonderland that we decided to go again! Actually, last time we went, we received a free pass back to the park because it was raining the first time. Any rate, as usual, kids had a blast and the parents were tired out! Check out the pics below.


Crystal's signature smile!
