Lindsey and her boy Lawton were in town for an opera staring Andrew Morstein as Count Almaviva in The Barber of Seville. I could not resist being Papa tour guide and add Laumeier Sculpture Park, The Saint Louis Art Museum, The Missouri History Museum, The Gateway Arch and Creve Coeur Golf Course. Lawton will turn 8 at camp on July 5.
Ben treated me to a trip to Ocean, New Jersey over Father's Day weekend. Ben masterfully managed Newark airport pick up. Allison took over driving in her new Kia as we collected her mom, Jean and James for the trip to The Grounds for Sculpture. The 40+acres celebrate monumental sculpture. This beautiful day was picture perfect for photo-opps to capture works inspired by Renoir, Monet, Grant Wood and more. (I enjoyed seeing the Bernar Vernet, Isaac Witkin and innovative contemporary art installations and the infamous Marilyn Monroe on subway grates inspired by the 1955 film Seven Year Itch.) We celebrated donut day at The Purple Glaze and enjoyed our designer donuts on Lynn's Memorial Bench at Asbury Park Beach boardwalk.
Aunt Deborah and Uncle David hosted a fathers' day BBQ at their house. Grandma Toby (The Matriarch) was generous with fathers day cards for Wes, Ben, David, and Perry. Autumn, Samson, Marlow, ...neighbor mother of five with three of the five stopped over. (Max and Mary, Daniel and his sister and Randy were no shows this year).
