BBQ weekender with the pendos

Art and Jin invited us down to their beautiful house in Queens, NYC a couple of weeks ago. Once Ryn and I had negotiated the crazy New Yorker motorists on route (they really do drive crazier the closer you get to NYC) we settled in for a BBQ spectacular with what I’m fast considering my new extended family.


Art in his element, cooking up a fine assortment of BBQ loveliness.


Juliana in her new Dora the Explorer car, wasting no time in learning some of those crazy NYC driver maneuvers.


Ryn soaks up the sun, while her bro slaves away at the stove.


Gabriel having a kick about with me, while Art gives Juliana some tips on driving like a loca.

As on previous visits it was a full-on family occasion, and loads of fun for it. In fact, if we neatly sidestep the whole regrettable incident where I dropped Juliana on her head, and perhaps also the niggling $50 I somehow liberated from Art and his friends at poker, I reckon they’re accepting me into their family too! :)
