First Sleepover

 We had Logan come in for the girl's first sleepover, and they had such a great time!  I met Mysh on Friday around 10am for the "exchange" in Manhasset and then took the girls back into the city.  All Logan could talk about in the car was how excited she was to go to a playground!

So as soon as we arrived, that's what we did!  We headed over to Imagination Playground right down the block from us and the girls got some good play-time in.  After lunch and naps, we headed back out over to Battery Park, where we hit another playground, had some dinner down in the Seaport and took a walk down by the East River.

The girls both slept in Jocelyn's room (J in her crib, Logan on an air-mattress on the floor) and after only an hour and 1/2, actually did get some sleep!  Chris and I were in hysterics though listening to the two of them "talk" to each other before bed.  

They were quite for the first 10 minutes, almost unsure of whether they should be talking or sleeping.  Then J started in with "I see a ghost".
Logan: "Jocelyn, we have to go to sleep.  It's 5:30 o'clock, and it's time for bed."
J: "I see a ghost"
L: " No J, we need to sleep."
J: "I see a ghost"
L: "Ok, let's tell ghost stories then."

This was followed by renditions of "Hukuna Matata", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", more ghost stories and just general little girl silliness.  Chris went in after an hour to settle them down, and they fell asleep shortly after that.  The cutest thing was that through almost all of this, they were both hunkered down under their own sheets not moving from their beds, just talking up a storm.

They were up bright and early the next day (we think around 6:45), and by the time we went into the room, Burton was already on-guard in front of the room (completely freaked out b/c "they were loose"), all of Jocelyn's bed toys were piled up on the floor and the stool was pushed over to J's crib for Logan to stand on.

After some breakfast we headed right out for the first adventure of the day- a ferryboat ride!

Battery Park- Great cousins!

Brooklyn Bridge Park has some great playgrounds.  One is devoted solely to slides and climbing.  The girls had a blast here (as did Uncle Chris!)

We continued the "best day ever" with a ride on the carousel

Logan's smile says it all 

And we topped off the day with some Ice Cream... Best Day Ever!

Some very tired little girls at the end of this whirl-wind weekend!
