Halloween 1

Namma and Papa and I went to a pumpkin festival!

 Then Dad and I carved up a Jack-o-lantern!

Next year, let's get one like this!

 A whole shop dedicated to Scandinavian candy?  Don't mind if I do!

YUM!

San Gennaro!

 It was the San Gennaro festival, so we headed down to Little Italy!

We got cotton candy!

 And I rode some rides!

But dinner was the highlight!  Couldn't stop munching on the fresh bread long enough for a photo...

Governor's Island

 One last trip to Governor's Island!

 Just us three girls, posing.

And here's me.  And Pinky.  And dad's friend Karl, with the grand mustache!

An education...

This is just in case you thought that my time in NYC was nothing but museums and art shows and theater and exercise and other things that are fun, but also *good* for me.

Hey, a girl's gotta blow off a bit of steam, now and again!  Gotcha!

Playground

 Sometimes, it's nice to just spend a day hanging out at the park...

Just taking a little stroll...

I call this piece "Lela as the Center of the Universe."

You know me!  Can't sit still for long!  I'm off!

Yankees!

Namma and Papa took me (and mom and dad) to my first ever Yankee game!

 We came all decked out for a day in the sun!

Papa (AKA my favorite person on earth) and I had the BEST time!

He even taught me how to keep score.  Log in another "K"!

 Ok, if you'll excuse us, we are watching the game!

Just us

Just me and dad, having a good day!

How to treat art

So, this is a sculpture by Mark di Suvero, who makes lots of these giant things.

 The sign says "Do not touch the art."  Climbing on it isn't touching it, right?*

*Note from the Art Historian:  There is no way, short of nuclear attack, to harm a di Suvero.  I've tried and tried.

Meet Fish!

Meet Fish!  He's my new fish!  Clever name, huh?

Columbus Circle

We went down to Columbus Circle.

 Huh?  That's one big dog!

 Seems friendly, though!

Big Head

 And you thought *I* had a big head.

 Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Tiny Boats

 Mom and I took a nice, long wander through the Park.

And we found tiny boats you can sail!

 Just call me Captain Lela!

Big Park, Tiny Person

Dad and I played frisbee in Central Park for a while.  He kept laughing about how tiny I apparently looked there.  I don't know why...  Where am I in the photo, anyway...?  Oh, I see.  That tiny person.  Ah.

Governor's Island

We found a lovely little beach on Governor's Island.  It is all very natural.  In what used to be a parking lot.  

 The palm trees are pretty amazing, since, if you look closely, they are surprisingly colorful.  Oh, and they light up and blink, too.  Very classy!

Great view from the beach, no?  And pirate ships!  Pirates!  Head for the hills!
