Day 1 in NY - Dinner with Emily&Dolph first night in NY

Landed JFK safe, only 30 min delay after 12.5 hours flight. Kids managed to sleep a few hours on the flight after watching several movies and videos, with occasional iPad viewings.

Checked in Hilton in Midtown, then Emily and Dolph came over. As kids insisted on having pizza, we went to an Italian restaurant a few blocks away from the hotel. They were very hungry and ate some Emily's pasta, and finished pizza.

She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
