return to leila's favorite park in battery park

favorite gate still there. opens and closes fine.

the water button still works.

trip to moma

we went to the moma the day before leaving new york. leila enjoyed it much more than we expected.

there was live music that evening and we danced to it.

leila took shannon through her favorite paintings.
she explained each one with much enthusiasm and detail.

richard serra's amazing sculptures were fun to walk through.

and scary too. "there are month-ters and dinathours..."

"that one has a booboo."

you can guess where the booboo is located.
