Mommy Diaries
This weekend we went to the Flatbush Frolic’s 40th Annual street fair.
It was so much fun, they had games, LOTS of delicious food, and rides. Alani and I got on one of the rides, she seemed indifferent about it, but I thought it was cute so we gave it a try.
And of course I had my nephews in tow, plus they had a ball. I think this is about to be a family tradition.
here are some pictures from our time at the fair.
This past week we took a family trip down to Puerto Rico, YES we took the baby with us too.
Sekou and I agreed that we needed a getaway, away from home, and away from work. You know that feeling you get when everything starts feeling like a cycle, and you’re doing the same thing everyday, week after week, yea we both hate that feeling and needed something new, so Puerto Rico it was.
I think you all know by now that Sekou and I are obsessed with our daughter, and we don’t like being apart from her for too long, well thats why she came along for the trip.
Everyone I told that we were taking the baby said “Oh no that’s not a real vacation”, “Leave her with one of your parents”, “you won’t have fun” etc. but we didn’t care, and let me tell you it wasn’t so bad.
There were a few times when Alani started crying in public, and Sekou would give me that eye like (uh oh, this is why kids shouldn’t be on adult vacations). If I could do it again Alani would be tagging along, I hope Sekou feels the same.
We stayed at La Concha Resort and it was fabulous. I’d stay there every time I go back.
We all had a great, and relaxing time. We were on vacation already thinking about the next one.
Now I can start my work week refreshed, renewed, and ready to work.
Happy Monday!!!!
Here are the last of Alani’s birthday party pictures!
This weekend we took a family trip to the Bronx Zoo right before summer ends.
Alani has been to the aquarium which you can see here , now we had to make it to the zoo. Everyone knows the Bronx zoo is the best one out here in NYC, it’s really huge too, so remember to wear your walking shoes if you plan to visit.
Alani seemed to have enjoyed herself. My nephews came along too of course and they had a ball.
Be sure to add Bronx zoo to your list of places to visit with the littles.
I’ve been dying to take Alani on a carousel, but Alani was not having it, she did not want to get on any of the bugs. We settled for the booth, and enjoyed that. [Read more…]
