Tyler's Birthday in Central Park

Tyler turned one on August 17th and Leslie & Jason held his birthday party in the park!  It was a great day of fun. Since we were in the NY leg of our trip, it was really convenient for us to pop into the city from Ossining for the day and partake in the festivities, thanks to Mimi & PopPop's generosity of spirit and their car...! :)  The party was replete with balloons, lots of good food, cake, and Rockin' With Andy - the musical guest. It was really a special day because it was also the first time the cousins (Tyler, Char & Em) had met! There was so much going on that it was a bit of a lackluster meeting, but we knew we had more time for them to interact at the beach the following week, so we weren't too crushed... ;)

First time Les had seen the girls since they were 3 weeks old! They've tripled in size since then! 

Having "met" the girls, Tyler says "I'm outta here! There's food over there!"

The kids listen to Rockin' With Andy - a total hit!

Tyler REALLY wanted to play Andy's guitar...
