Saturday – flight up. And then a visit to the toy store to get some stuff to play with all week.
Sunday – Lily had a manicure. I am not sure what Jack did.
Monday – A trip to a Star Wars exhibit at the science center and a visit to the bookstore. Also, lots of time was spent at the pool.
Tuesday – I am not sure what happened Tuesday. But there was pool time and visit to Bubbie’s but that may have been Wednesday.
Wednesday – A visit to the insectariums.
Thursday and Friday – Off to Lake George – mini golf, fireworks, swimming, and a trip to Adventure Land amusement park. A great time was had by all.
Saturday – The drive to New York City and visiting with cousins Emilie and Stephanie … and their parents.
e were happy to see Lily and Jack after a week away. They had an amazing time and had many stories to tell us about all the things they got to do. Huge thanks to Donna and Stephen for caring for them for a week – they are getting easier but can still be a lot of work! Like when Jack wakes up crazy early in the morning!
Saturday afternoon we visited the High Line and went to a park right next to the Hudson River. It was a very hot afternoon but the kids had fun and we all got a chance to see the new World Trade Center building. We capped off the day with dinner out and a stop at Magnolia Bakery for some cupcakes.
Sunday morning we had brunch with Donna and Stephen and Emilie and the kids got to play at Union Square Park. We then cabbed it over to Tompkins Square Park so we could watch Cousin Steph’s ball hockey game. Her team won 4-3 in a shoot out. It was quite exciting. After the game we headed back home on the Amtrak. The kids hit the hay after a quick dinner and were ready for camp the next morning – Jack in an Arts & Crafts themed week and Lily at ice skating camp. Only 20 days until second grade.

It WAS a lot of fun!!!!!!! Lily and Jack were great guests - they are quite delightful, easygoing, good eaters, sleepers and swimmers.
They loved everything we did except Lily thought the Insectarioum near her house is better than the one in Montreal. We also went to the market to buy fruit and veggies, saw ChinaTown from the car, went for ice cream, watched the construction around our house, visited the dentist, got Jack a haircut, bought Jack new light-up shoes, went to the Hampton to work at the front desk, and a few other things !!! Jack LOVED our RAin shower and sat in there for 30 - 45 minutes every night while Lily enjoyed the deep bath tub. Stephen and I loved every minute of the visit - these kids are just amazing!!!
