Today we asked Nathan what he’d like to do for his birthday family celebration? and he designed this road trip ๐Ÿ™‚

We drove into the city, and the first stop was the newly openned observation deck in the Freedom tower…

Sometimes you have to work for your dinner

This is a great way to get every one to eat their veggies. Some how – if they are cooked on a hot plate in front of you or you have to catch them in your mouth as they fly through the air – veggies become the best thing ever!!! Unfortunately it is too messy to try at home…but if you get desperate perhaps???
