The flight was ok but was a bit boring and between my mum and I we found it difficult enough to entertain young Reuben. He was an angel though, and he coped very well. Answer to prayer methinks- he slept during take off and clung to me during landing.
After a 7 hour flight we arrived in New Jersey at Newark ariport where we got a taxi to Bill and Jacqui's. It was great to see them! We had a delicious BBQ out the back- Rick I missed you, we had steaks and salad and BBQ bananas, you would have loved it. Sitting outside in 30oc odd - really beautiful. We also had a visitor- a racoon!!
Reuben went to sleep at 6.45pm NY time so we thought- "Oh great, he should sleep until about 4am". UH UH (Big family fortunes buzzer sound!)Below is Reuben enjoying himself and also the time he was enjoying himself!
We then proceeded (we being my mum and I) into a routine of normality for Reuben in Northern Ireland time. Hence being very tired today after being awake from 12 midnight onwards with a sleep of about an hour every two hours!!
Today we had a beautiful breakfast prepared by Bill of smoked salmon and bagles. Reuben and Jacqui, mum and I all went for a walk and that has pretty much been the day so far. Reuben has a fantastic paddling pool which he hasn't got to use yet, but I'll get a pic up of that tomorrow. Tonight we are all going to mama mexico's for dinner- I LOVE food!!!!
Miss you Rick and dad. Reuben says he loves you lots. Here is a pic of him this morning- dressed for some Manhattan summer rays!!!
