Jimmy’s on the left, my brother’s the tall one!
Last summer, my brother Nick and cousin Jimmy traveled from England to visit us in Brooklyn — and this summer, they came again! We were overjoyed to have them. Here are a few photos from a wild week…
Toby was out of town with his dad, so Jimmy and Anton were fully in charge of the itinerary. They chose to see the Friends building, play soccer in Central Park, and eat their weight in Walkers crisps.
After a few days in New York, we decided to drive to my friend Sharon’s house in Connecticut. I was excited to see her, and the boys were excited to see her pool. Also, how GORGEOUS is her garden??? “I want to give my neighbors an experience,” she laughs.
The boys swam and jumped on the trampoline…
…absolutely crushed this snack plate…
…and cooked up their usual antics.
One evening, Jimmy tried his first oyster, which he said “tasted like the ocean” and “wasn’t too bad.”
And Sharon and I played Rummikub, which is such a fun game. Have you played?
Finally, we all headed home…
…and I got a quiet sofa to myself to watch Love Is Blind. It was such a noisy, funny, wonderful week, and we miss them already. xoxo
P.S. Our past England trips, and the trick to enjoying big family gatherings.
