East River Fishermen

Playing with the broom and mop went from "clean up time" to fishing pretty quick, inspired by none other than Sam's mentor and lifestyle guru--Curious George.  A bit more improvising with materials on hand and TA DA!  Ready to fish.  In the end, we had veggie burgers for dinner.

It's Shey-pril!

April, excuse me, I meant "Shey-pril"  is off to a good start.  Sam has been enjoying NYC to the fullest, helped his parents celebrate their respective birthdays, and commemorated the freedom of the Jewish people with a festive Passover celebration starting with a seder in Albany with his Nona and Papa.
