All was revealed at the airport! What a fabulous surprise.
We all had a fantastic time, most of it spent at the pool. Austin and Sydney loved it there. The waterslide was a huge hit with them.
A spontaneous visit to Horan's Landing after running errands was enjoyed by all. They would have spent the whole day there if we had packed a lunch!
We took the train into the city one HOT day and took in the sights of 5th Avenue on the way to the Central Park Zoo. We also introduced them to the whispering corner in Grand Central which was a lot of fun.
Ponding at Stone Barns was an exciting adventure. The kids caught (and released) a HUGE tadpole and a turtle.
Finding butterflies and hanging out with the pigs!
We had a wonderful afternoon with Michelle, Kyler and Mika at their pool.....
Cameron was thrilled to introduce Austin to his best buddy, Kyler. They played really well together, it was a pleasure to observe.
On the last Saturday night we had a fire in the back garden and let the children toast marshmallows and make Smores. This was a first for Sydney and Austin. They soon got the hang of it and ate a LOT of desert. They stocked up on Graham Crackers so that they could make them again when they got home.
We rounded off the two weeks with dinner at Gasho, a Japanese style restaurant where the food is cooked Hibachi style. The kids were entertained by our server. They loved trying to catch the broccoli in their mouths. They all ate so well. It certainly is the best way to get children to eat everything served to them, vegetables included!
Sadly, all good things come to an end. It was very emotional having to say goodbye, especially for Cameron, as he and Austin had bonded so well.
Hopefully we will be able to get together again next summer to continue the fun times.
