Jimmy\u2019s on the left, my brother\u2019s the tall one!<\/em><\/p>\n

Last summer, my brother Nick<\/a> and cousin Jimmy<\/a> traveled from England to visit us in Brooklyn<\/a> \u2014\u00a0and this summer, they came again! We were overjoyed to have them. Here are a few photos from a wild week\u2026<\/p>\n

\"friends<\/p>\n

Toby<\/a> was out of town with his dad, so Jimmy and Anton were fully in charge of the itinerary. They chose to see the Friends<\/a> building, play soccer in Central Park, and eat their weight in Walkers crisps.<\/p>\n

\"Sharon<\/p>\n

After a few days in New York, we decided to drive to my friend Sharon\u2019s<\/a> house in Connecticut. I was excited to see her, and the boys were excited to see her pool. Also, how GORGEOUS is her garden??? \u201cI want to give my neighbors an experience,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n

\"Sharon<\/p>\n

The boys swam and jumped on the trampoline\u2026<\/p>\n

\"snack<\/p>\n

\u2026absolutely crushed this snack plate\u2026<\/p>\n

\"boys<\/p>\n

\u2026and cooked up their usual antics.<\/p>\n

\"trying<\/p>\n

One evening, Jimmy tried his first oyster, which he said \u201ctasted like the ocean\u201d and \u201cwasn\u2019t too bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Joanna<\/p>\n

And Sharon and I played Rummikub<\/a>, which is such a fun game. Have you played?<\/p>\n

\"Joanna<\/p>\n

Finally, we all headed home\u2026<\/p>\n

\"love<\/p>\n

\u2026and I got a quiet sofa to myself to watch Love Is Blind<\/a>. It was such a noisy, funny, wonderful week, and we miss them already. xoxo<\/p>\n

P.S. Our past England trips<\/a>, and the trick to enjoying big family gatherings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
