reaching back to early June finally...

The Germans Are Known For Their Balloon Expertise

I wish the cat had driven

Yuula got some dunking lessons, on par

dinner provided by Brad & Erin, pork steak, no surprise

we don't see this on our road

Fort Wayne fashion is still in question

Looking on from atop Mount Brad at her puppy balloon creation

She wasn't the only one styling some balloon art

Then we found this...

Dylan got trapped

It was like a party

Good thing we had her bathing suit

NYC Troopers, Pt. 3: Midtown

Dinner was had quite late, but I think Ellen's Stardust Cafe may have been one of the highlights of the trip, yes because of all the singing and the good food but also because we allowed ourselves to sit down for awhile.

It was our waitresses last day. She just got a part in Rock of Ages. Congrats Jessie's Girl.

This won't be the last timed I'll ever be serenaded

Times Square was indeed hopping

Yuula was in character heaven

Dylan really dug the Empire State Building and the homeless

Rockefeller is impressive even at 10 at night

Tho none of our cameras were quick enough to prove it, we were in fact on the 10:30 edition of Sportsnite

The Krupps were troopers and proved they were up for any kind of adventure in the city. We didn't get back to the car til 11:30 and finally crossed back into Jersey after midnite. What a day.

NYC Troopers, Pt. 2: Uptown

Next stop was uptown, in the park for a little break from the crowds on the sidewalk

the boys on Rat Rock

Yuula hurling herself down her largest slide yet

we're really coming around to merry-go-rounds

making our way up the west side

giant bubble blowing children

very impressed with the Apple store

have they ever even seen Big?

NYC Troopers, Pt. 1: Downtown

Hey Krupps, welcome to NYC!

First stop, photo op, Lady Liberty. Dylan wants to know what her real name was. I said Jane.

"that bull must be important with all these cops"

pizza overlooking a quiet Zuccotti Park

first rest

excited to venture into the seedy underbelly of the city

just chillin' in the fashion district

regrouping

anything you could possibly want

3 hours in a going strong

From The West They Come

The Krupps of the west have arrived at long last

They got a soggy tour of the outdoors

Yuula showed off her block skills to some pros

I still can't believe this happened

After a hefty meal of Swedish beef curry we smashed the plates in the backyard as is our newly acquired custom to shake up dinner parties

The rest of the night was dedicated to dancing off the chutney

Yuula did a couples routine with her mother

Her controller skills need quite a bit of developing

The boys have done this before, and they were not playing around

today, we drag them into the belly of the beast...

Gift Of The Session Puzzle

Here's a early Christmas gift from us to yous. These are closeup cutouts from our recent Krupp photo session down in Georgia. All you have to do each day is download them to your hard drive, print them out in hi res, and begin to assemble them. After just 12 more posts, one each day, bringing us right down to Christmas morning, you will have yourself a lovely photo to frame and hang atop your tree. Have fun!








Oh, and these cutouts are from three different photos.

Challenge!
