New York City

We loved the city... of course we had to make all of the kid stops. Zack loves the water and here we are in Rockefeller center and he is playing in the fountain pools.
Next we had to make a stop at American Girl and get Audrey her first doll. She chose Kit and we got the mini one. Maybe later she can have one of the 'big girl' dolls.
Finally we made a stop at FAO Squarts (I don't think that is how you spell it) Anyway the kids loved playing on the big piano.






New York City







Our wonderful tourist guide!!!! Doorly... thank you for taking us around and showing us the city. We loved getting together with Doorly and the kids. Her family was so kind to us allowing us to stay at their house.
We loved seeing the Manhattan, NY temple. Ironically (well not really) we met someone from the west there at the temple and had a little chat, what a small world it is.
We managed to snap a shot at the bull. I really don't know why it is so famous, but we saw it. Ha Ha Ha

Tourist Sites!

So many sites... so little time. We loved being in the city. We have lived in NY for a year and a half and this is the first time we have made it to the city. The weather was beautiful and the kids did great. It was fun experiencing all of the sites through Ryan's fresh eyes. (I've been before, he hasn't)





Central Park Zoo




I had no idea that Central Park was so.... big. We had a wonderful time at the zoo and the children loved the interactive childrens' petting zoo.





Here we are at a kids fair. We all had a wonderful time experimenting with the different booths and dressing up. The kids especially liked a gymnastic gym that had some of their equipment set up to play on. Oh what cute kids!








Bowling Night! Okay here we are bowling with the kids. They had a wonderful time. Sticking out her tongue has to be Audrey's trademark, right? Zackery just loves... his daddy! Audrey and Zack hugging it out!
