Video Game Camper






Zac took a class on how to make video games. He has had the program at home for about a year and uses it quite a bit so he was maybe the most advanced in the class. The teacher had a competition and Zac's game won. Pretty cool

NYC

We just got back from a weekend in NYC. I was presenting a workshop at Bereaved Parents of the USA at a hotel out in Queens.

We went to Coney Island on the way there and rode the Wonder Wheel and ate at Nathan's (hot dogs, corn dogs, and Nick had the frog legs). That Wonder Wheel is NOT just a ferris wheel- the cars slide and move around in the inside of the wheel- it is pretty scary!)

Yesterday on our way out of town we went into Manhattan for a bit. You will see the kids enthusiasm was higher and lower at some points (Nintendo World store and then we double parked while I stayed with the car and Nick made the kids go with him to look at the Statue of Liberty for a few minutes. Glad this sight inspires them to feel such patriotism)

Then we had some authentic french crepes from a street vendor. You can see the sign says they are tres bien.

I debated whether or not to put this graffiti up but I thought it was kind of interesting.
