We've had a really nice weekend...a beginning many Summer weekends! I canceled a bunch of plans this weekend to stay close to home because Nicholas still has not passed the hardware that he swallowed on Monday and I was concerned. We're still currently waiting and have given him the deadline of tomorrow evening before we return to the doctor.
Because I ended up canceling plans, I needed to find something for the kids and I to do so that we'd stay occupied and have a good time! Friday night, the kids got plenty of Daddy and Me time while I was at my Softball banquet- which was lovely! Saturday morning we slept in a bit and then got ready to head out for the day- Daddy to work and Mommy and the kids to a day full of activities...or so we thought!
The NY Jets have their practice and training facility in Florham Park, just minutes away from grandma and pop-pop. So, after a diner lunch with just the kids and I we ran a few errands and then picked up Pop-pop and headed to the facility for Jets Fest. (We are not Jets fans but this was something to do!) We got to the Jets campus and hopped on a shuttle bus to take us over the fieldhouse and site of Jets Fest. Little did we know that the shuttle bus would be the highlight of our trip!! Once we arrived at the fieldhouse we came to find out that Jets Fest was only open to the public in the morning, not as the paper had stated ALL DAY LONG! We hopped back on another shuttle bus and headed back to the car! The kids took it all in stride, while mommy and Pop-pop were less than thrilled! (The Giants would have let us in!!) The rest of the afternoon was spent playing at grandma and pop-pop's house, fingerpainting and running around! It was quite nice!
Sunday, our plans worked out quite well!! Daddy had to work in the morning and then we met him in Denville for Denville Day! The kids had a great time riding the rides, enjoying ice cream, checking out all of the different vendors and fire trucks and just enjoying the day outside! After Denville Day we brought Daddy to work at grandpa's restaurant and the kids enjoyed some more food and were even put to work a little bit!!
While the weekend didn't work out exactly as I had planned, it was a wonderful beginning of Summer weekend that we all enjoyed! We can't wait for the many more to come!!
