Well, today was really fun. We got up and was ready and we went to the IKEA store. We looked at the houses in it. IKEA stores are so cool. You walk into the HUGE room and they have houses set up, and you walk through them and look at the furniture. We also ate there. It sounds weird almost like we ate at the Target snack bar, but we chose to so we could be setting right over Newark airport and we watched huge planes takeoff. Then we went to 'Toys  'R' Us' to buy board games for our suite in Secaucus, NJ. We bought a game and then we went to Liberty State Park. It is right on the Hudson River and across from the Statue of Liberty. I had a Blue Angels Kite in the car, so I decided to fly it. We were flying it for about 30 minutes, then....... It got loose in my hand I accidently let it go. Me and Taylor ran as fast as we could to catch it. Then, the best description of what my sister performed in front of us was that she saved a faceplant by using a tuck and roll technique while wearing a dress and heeled boots, or one of her nice modeling outfits. I kept running, I thought it would eventually come down, but it kept heading for the Hudson, It almost caught on a bench, but it didn't. Then I got sick. I wanted to catch it so bad because I have had it for a while. So I just prayed. Right then it got caught on a fence and my plane landed on the Hudson. I got the string, YAY! But, the plane was far down a steep rip-rap of rocks, so dad climbed down it and retrieved it. He came back up and was safe. So, we were walking to the car with the retrieved plane, then my sister felt her pocket and her iPhone was missing, so we searched in a field and found it. We got in the car with the phone, the plane, and dad. Then the cops come across the park and comes toward us. We thought they must of seen someone climb the fence, so we just kept rolling, they then turned the other way. So, they weren't after us! YAY! Then, we drove to a kroger, went grocery shopping and then we left for our suite and I am now blogging. I am glad I have my kite!

Hey Blue ~
We had a super fun day, huh? Flying the kite was so fun. The weather was perfect, we were laughing, and enjoying being with each other in NYC.

Taylor was so funny when she was running after the kite and then went rolling! I wish we had a video of her falling. I also wish we had a picture of "Mr. Don't Break the Rules Dad" when he climbed the fence and went down into the Hudson to get your kite....Good Times!

I Love you more than the sun in the sky! BH ~ Momma

PS: What is wrong with supper at Target? :-)

Hey John Mikel! What an awesome day for you all! All kinds of action! We love the details. The effort that went into saving that kite just shows what kind of family you are! When it is important to one of you it is important to the whole family!... Taylor taking one for the team rolling on the ground and then your dad breaking all kinds of city laws climbing that fence and going down those rocks!(We know your dad's not scared of those city cops!) GREAT STORY! Tell the family we say hi... and tell Taylor to keep up the good work!
