Well where do I start!? I guess from the beginning...
どこから話そう!?一番最初から...
どこから話そう!?一番最初から...
Friday started off gloomy and sprinkling (a prelude of what was to come) so Madison and I decided not to venture out, but to take it easy inside and wait for our guests for the weekend... That's right! The day was finally here! At about noon I got a text from Alyson saying that they were on the road to NYC from Philly and that they would be here around 2:30pm:-) Time quickly past and Madison got sleepy around 2:00 so I decided to put her down for a quick nap. While I was putting her down there was a knock on the window? or door? and I knew they were here, half hour early... Since the door bell is broken and I didn't answer Alyson's phone call they were about to head back to Philly(I'm sure), but just in time I heard the knock and came to the front door... Oh that was close:-) Well Madison wasn't gonna take a nap now, her Aunt, Uncle and Cousin were here!!!
金曜日は朝からグズッぽい天気だったので午後に到着予定のお客さんを待って家の中でのんびりする事に...そうなんです、今日は待ちに待った日！お昼頃にアリソンからフィリーからニューヨークに向けて出発して２時半に到着予定って言うメールが入ってあっという間に午後２時。マディソンが眠くなっちゃったからお客さんが来る前に少しお昼寝出来るかな〜と寝かしつけていたらドアか窓をノックする音が...３０分早いけどアリソン達に違いないと慌ててドアを空けて車に戻る所だった３人を迎える事が出来ました...もちろんマディソンのお昼寝は中止、だっておじちゃん、おばちゃんといとこがいるんだもん!!!
Friday Night we celebrated Lily's 2nd birthday a few weeks early...come to think of it we didn't have cake...how can you have a birthday party without cake...that is just sad!!
金曜日の夜にもうすぐ２才になるリリーの誕生日プレゼントをあげました...今思うとケーキなし...ケーキも無しの誕生日会なんて何て悲しいんだ!!
Saturday the hurricane hit...literally...there were 75 MPH winds at JFK Airport so of course we headed into Manhattan to visit the Sony Wonder Lab...a free indoor interactive (three very important words) technology wonderland.
土曜日は大嵐の日...突風１２０キロのなかもちろんマンハッタンにあるソニーワンダーラブという所へ...無料の室内科学館。
James secretly accepts a snack for Lily...
リリー用のお菓子をアリソンからこっそり貰っているジム...
while Madison and I understand the seriousness of the bus ride!
僕とマディソンは真剣な顔でバスに乗ってる!
At the start of the self-guided tour you create your own profile on a credit card type device that you tap at each exhibit to access it...here is Madison's while strapped to me...
科学館ではまず最初に一人一人カードを作ってそれをスキャンしながらいろいろな機械で遊べるんだけど、これはマディソンを抱っこひもに入れたまま写真を撮っている様子...
With the help of Little BowWow we created our own rock group!!
みんなでロックグループの完成!!
Here is an Animation that Anna found really cool...
このビデオをとても気に入ったアンナは早速録画...
After playing at the Wonder Lab for while we headed back into the monsoon and ate at Burger Heaven, partly because Anna and I had always wanted to try it and mostly because it was just a block away!!
科学館の後はまた嵐の中を歩いてバーガーヘブンでお昼休憩...いつも通る度に気になっていたレストラントを試す事に、すぐ近くって事もあったんだけど...
As always, on the way home...Madison fell asleep, but was obviously sad about it :-)
いつも通り家に帰る途中に...寝ちゃったマディソン、後悔してるのかな：）
Sunday we all headed to worship at Springfield Gardens and then enjoyed lunch together, before Jim, Alyson and Lily had to head back to Philly. It was really fun to watch Madison and Lily interact with each other. Lily gave very sweet kisses and would share her toys with Madison as well...she is going to make a great big sister. I know Madison had a great time with her as well...it is crazy to think that Madison could be close to three by the time they meet again :-(
日曜日にはまず教会に行ってその後３人ともフィリーに帰っちゃう前にお昼を食べました。マディソンとリリーが一緒に遊んでいるのを見れてとてもよかった。こんなに仲良く出来るなんて...リリーは良いお姉ちゃんになりそう。次に会える時はマディソンは３才ぐらいになっちゃってるなんて信じられない：(
Here Lily and Madison cut a rug!!
リリーとマディソンはダンス中!!
Bonus!!:-): You can check out Alyson's Blog to cross reference the weekend post!
ボーナス!!：）もしよかったらアリソンのブログでこの週末報告も読んでね!

Yay! We had so much fun with you guys. Maybe we'll have to make a trip out to NC sometime. Or maybe we can vacation simultaneously one of these years and meet somewhere in the middle... Oklahoma? Ha ha ha Nah!
