Once again, it was a wonderful trip spending time with Simon and his family. As much as I’ll miss this kid, I look forward to spending time with him in the Minecraft realms. For now, it’s one last look at Brooklyn before heading home. #brooklyn #newyork #unclereeper #simon (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMc0mkO4zp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can’t remember the last time I was willing to get up early to walk all the way to school, but I did so for Simon and Stephen. We walked the cool residential blocks of Brooklyn and talked all about Minecraft before Simon was dropped off. Later on, Stephen showed me around Brooklyn. #unclereeper #simon #offtoschool (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkI72vgOaJ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And now, heeeeeere’s Simon! My nephew is growing up! Very happy to be with him and everyone else again. We’re all taking a break and hanging out before making plans for tonight. It’s still a nice day outside, and Simon can’t wait to get out there. I know the feeling! #brooklyn #newyork #simon #unclereeper (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkCGloAueKD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yay, my sister and Simon are visiting SoCal, and I get to see Simon again! I’m spending the day with them and we’re going to Griffith Park today. #unclereeper #yaysimon https://www.instagram.com/reepakgugga/p/BwfSktjAi2R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kekuy8yjcq34

On Sunday morning, I had my last chance to hang out with Simon. I made the most of it by getting him a present, a mini hockey set with two plastic sticks and teo foam balls. The toughest thing for now is teaching Simon the way to hold a stick with two hands. Well, you've got to start somewhere, and I'm glad this morning I got Simon to play hockey for the very first time in his life. #unclereeper #simon #hockey #startemyoung (at Brooklyn, New York)

I had a great time spending Saturday night with my family in NYC, especially Simon. The real highlight of the night was toward the end, actually, when Simon was read one last bedtime story before being tucked into sleep. Oh, one more thing: If your toddler claims that they should have a tennis racket at bedtime because reading through it will improve their ability to read, you might not want to follow through on that. #unclereeper #bedtimesimon #thenextmcenroe #lol (at Brooklyn, New York)

I finally made it to Brooklyn and met up with super-cool Simon and his family! How excited was my nephew to see Uncle Reeper? See for yourself! You saw it here first, the new dance craze called the Flappingo! #unclereeper #simon #flappingo #brooklyn (at Brooklyn, New York)

On the last full day of Simon's family being in town, I got him a very unique gift, one of my old big computer keyboards. The moment I showed it to him, he wouldn't stop jamming on the thing! I think we've got a future computer genius in the making! #unclereeper #nephew #hacker
