bubbles.

i've always wondered what goes on during fashion week in the city. it always sounded very interesting and great people watching at the very least. i'm so close to the city, it's a wonder i haven't gone to check it out before this year. luckily i have a friend who's observed it before, so she took a couple of us to go people-watching at lincoln center today during some fashion shows. fashion shows are invite only so you can't watch the runways but you can watch all the people waiting to be noticed outside. i should have taken more pictures of some of the people and fashion we saw, there were some interesting characters. i just didn't want to be a creeper!

after some playing and people watching, we grabbed some lunch and headed towards the park to eat, but when we walked by columbus circle, the kiddos were so taken with some bubble guys, we decided to just eat there and let them play with the big bubbles. bea had so much fun! bradley saw these pictures and thought that bubble guy looked a bit creepy but i thought he was cool!

that is a stance of pure unadulterated joy

i love the city so much i can't even say, and now that bea is older she is falling in love with it too. but when i live close i often take it for granted and don't soak it in as often as i should. so i'm making a conscious effort now to go enjoy the city that i love more often. i hope to have a lunch date with bradley and bea each week from now on, so we'll see how that goes...i want bea to have early childhood memories of manhattan like i have. they are some of my most precious memories and part of why new york is so engrained in my heart and soul. i'm not going to live close forever, i need to take advantage of it while i can!
