A quick trip to Jersey

Hey everyone! I spent this past weekend in New Jersey. Our family went there because one of our distant relatives had a baby, named Arlo. ( He happens to be extremely cutely adorable). When a baby becomes 6 months old, they go through this ceremony called an Anna Prashan. Basically, the baby is fed in front of a lot of people, then he is shown a plate of different items, such as a pen, a book, a rock, and other items , which determine his career. Arlo picked up the money and promptly began to eat it.
New Jersey was really humid, and I was sweating in my jeans when we got to our friends house in the morning. A puja for the Arlo happened at 2 and we came back at 11 pm.We spent the first night at our friends wonderful house, and the next day we went to the reception, where my sister and I played hide and seek in the back garden with our friends. We then went to another cousin's house, which was on a lake. They even had their own dock! Unfortunately, it was raining lightly and they did not have a boat. We went inside and enjoyed an hour or so playing Lego Harry Potter for Wii. Lego Harry Potter is reeeaaaallly interesting, since none of the characters talk. Anyway, we had a nice dinner then retired to bed. We woke up at 3 in the morning and rushed to the airport to board our flight at 6. We were barely even jetlagged due to such a short trip. N
