We went to NY this weekend, specifically for a surprise party for Joe at the Slack homestead. A 60th birthday blowout, 361 days late. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful time, and for once we remembered our camera. A million people came up to visit, and almost a million pictures were taken. I also drank a million beers and ate a million pounds of food, and didn't feel real great on Sunday.

I thought this was a wonderful picture of all three of them:

Sarah and I played the swinging game with AJ. It was all fun and games until we accidentally gave him a 360 and nearly dislocated his arms. Julie was banned from the game after letting go on a swing the day before. You can tell AJ is having a good time:
