Ledge of Death!

Ryan decided to climb out on this 15 inch ledge. You can't tell by the picture but three is a 10 foot drop. Joe and I made a mad dash across the sand to get to Ryan. He thought is was pretty funny. Luckily the only damage was me stubbing my toe after jumping the railing.

The little (only) swimmers


The easy way - More Mini Golf


On the links... Is it summer yet?

Another non-summer like day. The beach club is pretty empty and it is a hair below 70 and breezy. Alexander and Ryan are taking in a round of mini golf.

Last day of soccer-- Record W- 4 L- 3 Ties- 2

Seagulls waiting for dinner

I jumped into the frigid pool after a day up north with the Yonkers Maguires (John, Hannah, and Anne). We headed back to Brooklyn to pick up Mom and off to the Silver Gull. The pool was cold, the ocean not so much, but the kiddy pool was actually warm :). This is a picture of us trying to feed the gulls in front of the cabana.

Blowing in the Insulation









We decided to fifnish up the insulation on the third floor so it was cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This is the crawl space that is at either end of our bedroom. 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. One day we will figure out what to do with this space. Walk in closet, space for dresser, etc.

They insulated the walls



Then they laid down a think coat of snow. They did this in the attic as well. The pictures weren't as great.






Since it was the third floor they had to blow the insulation in from the inside. Lots of patching and repainting. The clean up took about a day and about 95% of it was done by the wife. While the insulation costs a pretty penny, we ended up getting about 25% back from National Grid. We also might qualify for more if our heating bill goes down significantly.

Aviator Sports Renaisance Fair


A free event usually lowers the quality, but this is pretty impressive.

Community Policing (Ditmas and Coney Island Avenue)

The corner of CIA and Ditmas. The day laborers that hang out every morning are getting a pep talk from the "Policia". After the cops left they disbursed with smiles on their faces. Wonder what was so funny?

Sun and Golf... For the kids

JaJou took Dylan and Alexander to play golf at the Brooklyn Golf Center. Ryan would be attending also but he fell asleep. Never wake a sleeping child.

This is a children's conspiracy to drive their parents insane

You just cut this up and it is basically a toy that gets destroyed in two seconds.
