After being in New York for nearly two weeks, we can't believe how much it rains. Nearly every day since we have arrived it rains, sometimes two inches in one afternoon. So of course, the thunder storms rolled in on Hayden's birthday. We decided to go celebrate indoors at a place that has inflatable slides and bounce houses, arcade games and stuff. It was a brilliant plan. I sat and read a book, the kids wore themselves out running, climbing, jumping and bouncing. No fighting, no mess, no problem.
Sydney, Maura and Hayden at the top of one of the slides. 
After the kids were totally exhausted, we came home and waited for Michael to join us. We barbequed at Hayden's request and then we had birthday brownies and ice cream. Hayden wanted brownies because we still had cake from Maura's birthday hanging around.
Even with eleven candles to blow out, he made it look easy. Happy Birthday Hayden, we love you!! And we are especially proud of you for earning your Arrow of Light before your birthday!

Hey Jen! So glad you guys made it safely and seem to be enjoying the new adventure! It was a little sad to see birthday photos for cakes and parties that we didn't get to go to! Hang in there and we miss you guys already!
