Alicia

P's Aunt Alicia (well, she'll Officially be Aunt in just a couple of weeks!) is finally in Brooklyn, and the kid is thrilled. The only thing better than Seth is Seth And Alicia :) We spent last Friday in the park hanging out with her and had a blast. There was tree climbing, frisbee throwing, witch's brew brewing, bat swinging, chasing, tickling and even some duck, duck, goosing thrown in (Yoav was there too.) I'm thinking P would very much like Two mums :) When P wasn't busy jumping on Alicia he was battling his buddy Yoav with the bats they found in the grass. Fortunately, this sword fight was wound/tear free.

The next day we finally had our scooter trek with Uncle Seth. Good sport that she is, Alicia joined us, despite the record heat. We took an easy trip downhill for a few avenues and then had the brilliant idea to just Keep Going all the way to Redhook. Needless to say, in 100 degrees without a map of any sort, this didn't prove to be the best approach to a hot Saturday, but we all had some sweaty fun. Leaving the rest of Redhook to a cooler weekend, we jumped the train to find some fabulous hummus and then headed home to hide inside and wait for Hades to pass over...
