More of NY

The remainder of our trip to New York was so much fun.  We did lots of fun things!  We went to a high school football all-star game, checked out the animals at the fair, went blueberry picking, celebrated Vivian's 2nd birthday with an Elmo party, and we even got to celebrate Alaina's 5th birthday at a bounce house!  I realize that sometimes you're probably really sick of reading everything I have to say, so for this post, I will bore you with a gazillion pictures!

 Interview #1 (and the only one I took a picture of!)  Go Dad & Go Alden Bulldogs!
 Mark came over to play with Claire!

 and lots of horses!  One of my former math teachers had several of her horses at the fair, so she let Claire touch them, and she was so excited!
 We even went to the horse races one night...she liked watching them run by!

 Elmo was in the house!

 I think Viv ate more than she picked! (good for her!)
 An Elmo cupcake for Viv one night after dinner!

 Playtime! 
To be perfectly honest, I am starting to get depressed that summer is almost over!  (This happens every year!)  I am trying really hard not to think about it, and enjoy every day I have left at home, but sometimes going back to school crosses my mind.  We don't have too much planned before we go back, which is fine with me.  I will also update you soon with Claire current "stats!"  She goes to see the doctor next week for her 9 month (holy smokes!) check up.  She's a smiling peach, and I'll miss her little chubby face when August 20th rolls around.
Hope you had a great week!
