Let me tell of a time when the world was in rhyme with the sound of our laughter

Harry has always had some connection with opera and lives his life in music, so when an opportunity to go to a real, live opera came up....we jumped on it!  

First, there was the stylish dressing and posing with Mommy...
 ...then the sweet goodbyes with Brother Jack 
(Jack says this picture makes him look like a ragged boy and Harry like a rich man)
 His big send-off pose 
 Let's go, already!
 To get into the spirit of the nite, we went to his favorite Italian restaurant....
 ....you got it, it has a fountain!
 A little more posing, just in case it wasn't obvious that we were excited.  He thought this one made it look like we were really on the streets of Italy ;-)
 A taste of Italy
 It's delish
 ...and messy!

There were no pix during the show, but it was a really great job in a nicely refurbished theater with an art deco styling that Harry dug.  He made it through most of the first half before nodding off, seeming to really like the acting and singing.  He did as if there would be any lady singers after the first scene was nothing but bohemian men.

To say thanx to Daddy for directional assistance and let him and Jack know we loved them, we stopped at a sweet old-fashioned donut store on the way home. 
He's still perfecting his milk 'stache 
The fat lady, as the expression goes, has sung!

Every Picture Tells A Story

We got some funny and some special pictures, start with an ever watchful Harry on the train


and on the tour bus

Jack had a pensive moment while touring
and did not really want me documenting it

Harry was not in the mood to pose anymore while visiting mummies
Did Jack's efforts really pay off?

It looks like Jack may be getting to that age


I realized after looking back at these pix that I have the exact same shot of me with them when they were about a month old - each of us holding the other in a circle :wub:

Jack taking a picture of Harry taking a picture of us at Jefferson Mem

This one looks nice,

but ended up like this - so tired of posing (hugging)!

Jack trying to be as tall as Dean outside FDR


Love this photo at MLK

Harry had been copying all the mask expressions at NA Museum, the spear was a fluke

They tried to think of a way they could do something as big as The Wright Brothers

Harry decided to take on the train at American History

It's a sweet life living by the salty sea

Frolicking by the waves - we lucked out with a beautiful day. While this is the most crowded 'our' beach has ever been, the pix remind me how lucky we are to have such a gorgeous place to play!

Harry making sand angels
The boy takes flight


Jack always likes to try out new games with Daddy

Harry practicing his snorkeling - latest goal: scuba diver!

The chase is on!

Even paradise can handle a toy or two


We've been sitting in this spot for over a dozen years....it keeps getting fuller!

Happy Jack

It never gets old

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west

We heading back to the island on Sunday. Since I still have pix from 2009 trip in my to-do folder, I thought I'd try to do better this year.....
