Andrew left for a trip to India on 9/23, and Mom-Mom and Aunt Molly drove back to PA early on 9/24, so I decided to take the kids to something called “Jay Day”.  It was a yearly event held at the John Jay Heritage Center in Rye.

They had food trucks, balloon animals, pony rides, music, and even a children’s author doing a presentation and signing books.  Blaine was somewhat frightened by this woman on stilts who came by while we were eating our grilled cheese.

Blaine got a sword (which it seemed like they were making for all the little boys) and the balloon guy made a neat little elephant for Sarah, inspired by the elephant on her shirt.

We were also able to explore John Jay’s house.  The view was beautiful and the kids loved seeing an old dumb waiter.

Then we had some ice cream and went home for a nap.
