Not the First Time Here, But the First Time Here

My mama and dada always takes me to Rockaway Mall. Almost every weekend. It’s my dada’s go-to place when mama is busy and he has to take care of me for a few hours. But, they’ve never, ever, let me play on the kid’s playground inside the mall…and now, I wonder why?

I had a blast running around, falling down, playing with strangers, and of course, falling down again. All this time and I never knew this existed…I wonder what else they’re hiding from me? The next thing they’re gonna tell me is that the soda-thing that they keep drinking in front of me really isn’t medicine afterall.

Operation DUMBO

From Wikipedia:
Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It encompasses two sections: one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connect Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another that continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area.

From Me:
Dumbo, a way of describing what happens when you completely rely on your GPS to get you to a location, pay for all-day parking, only to find out that you parked on the opposite side of the Hudson River.

We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. DUMBO. All in the name of getting some food at the Smorgasburg in Brooklyn. Good thing it turned out a great event, great atmosphere, and awesome weather…otherwise, the body aches from all the walking we did would feel even worse right now.

Tiger was inspired by the street performers he saw earlier in the day and decided to do some artwork of his own

Kinda looks like he’s dancing to his own beat, huh?

After many horses, he finally decided on this one…and he loved it!

He’s already starting to play bloody knuckles with his Uncle Ben

Our Little Sunshine

Tiger has always been a happy baby, and just to see him smile, makes everyone a bit happier. We expect him to be a good baby most of the time, but in LA, he was a great baby the entire time.

Wait…everyone stop…there’s green grass here…where are we?

These oranges are tiny…I need to smell them to make sure they’re growing okay

Dada has Final Fantasy…I have Ms. Pacman…I guess I’m a bit old school

Can you believe this is the first time I’ve let anyone paint my face? I think it’s supposed to be an Easter bunny, but you can make an argument that it’s a ball with ears

I’m doing my Mr. Cedric impersonation from Sophia the First

Before we leave for the airport, I need a picture with my grandparents…and, of course, I wanted to lay on the grass one last time!

Nothing like a quick nap before getting to the airport
