[Tour with PL] NYC Night Tour

How about that idea? A city tour under moonlight- that was included in our sightseeing package. Yes, 6.30 pm is not 'night' in New York, especially in June when sun sets by 9.30. It was an awesome trip, the sun was setting down in the horizon as we were crossing Hudson river. NYC sky in the twilight is truly mind-blowing. Sitting in an open bus under twilight, watching the sun slipping through the horizon is surreal.
Everyone was busy capturing the red horizon over Hudson river, with Brooklyn bridge in the background, the camera flashes did distract the beauty.

There was a big CROWD at Times Square.

Book of the Week :: Dimity Duck

As I told earlier, we are sticking to a THEME and reading along with Rainbow. The theme for the week is FRIENDS, hence we chose Dimity Duck by Jane Yolen.

It is all about... a duck Dimity and a day in her life. There begins a day as
Dimity Duck Waddles,
she toddles out of bed...

Sick child, Mom and Dad!
That's it. That was everything happened in last week. We all three fell ill one after another.  J brought it from Masjid, Pappa's clinging girl BOUGHT it and GIFTED to mom. It was such an ordeal, all three falling ill together in Ramadan! It was Liya's first ever fever session and was sort of scary. She went up to a temperature of 105 F! Tylenol did not work anymore. We took her to Doc and he asked to give ibuprofen and Tylenol alternatively and confirmed it is a viral fever and might take some days to come down.
