Yesterday was very very rainy. Reagan was in LI during most of the day, for a bridal shower. So, Sam and I hung out all day. The first thing that we did was take him to B&H and get him a camera. He is now the proud owner of a new G-12. After cruising around showing him all of my favorite street art in Manhattan, we headed back to the Heights. Reagan was home, so we talked her into coming out to Fr. Tryon with us, since Sam wanted to try out his new cam with a long exposure shot of the bridge.  Here he is setting it up:

I opted out of the furry hat wearing contest that Sam and Reagan apparently had going. It made me kind of feel like the odd man out. Here are a couple of more shots of Reagan in her festive get-up.

Happy Monday.

Saturday was a banger, in these parts. Although we slept in a little bit on Saturday (which we were allowed to, since it was raining), we made every minute count, for the rest of the day.

We trekked out to Brooklyn for the Mermaid Parade, and decided to check out the Brooklyn Aquarium, first. It was a great idea, since the rain wasn’t really letting up. There was an event at the aquarium that included face painting and hula hooping. Both Reagan and I, got in on the hula hooping action.

We ended up only catching the tail end of the parade, which was ok with me. This is the only photo of the parade that I took, that was fit to post.

Saturday night, we were invited to a Brasil party. Everyone who went brought some sort of traditional Brazilian food, we all dressed up in soccer jerseys, etc. It was a really good time. Afterward, Reagan and I decided to walk home through the park. Here we are goofing off.
