New York- The rest of the days :)

This week was super fun because (duh) we were in New York City! I am so glad that I got to go with all of my family and be able to do all the fun things I did. We had lots of fun and I am so grateful that I didn't miss anything major in school! Below are the pictures of the rest of my time in New York! I hope you enjoy and I hope that I might be able to go again someday! :) 

On our 2nd day, my mom and dad went to work and my mom "socialized" (shopped) with the other wives. So that meant it was a homework day. We did go out for dinner and it was really good! 


Here I am eating while sydney thinks it a good time to take a picture. 

This is a pic of when we were walking to the hotel. All the lights were really cool! :) 
Right outside the pizza place, there was the "Late Show" sign. Of course we has to take a picture! :) 




The start of another day picture! (always gotta have one!) 


On this day we started early and headed over to the shore for a statue of liberty tour. Huddy saw this flight carrier -in the background- and wanted a picture! 
Here is a picture I got of the statue of liberty, its not the best picture and it looked better in person! I loved going on a boat and the tour guide was great. He explained most everything we saw. 
Afterwards, we went to times square and it was really cool! I loved how it looked like what you see in all the movies! :)
We got lunch at Chevy's. It was really nice to have some comfort food after meat and rice everyday (I have nothing against it though) :) 
Here is a new day, our last day. We went ice skating (as you will see below) and we got up bright and early to do so! 
Here Sydney and I are iceskating though I think I spent more time slipping than I did actually skating..(hehe) 




Here we all are getting our smiley faces photographed at the ice skating rink in Central Park! 
We went to FAO Schwartz, a HUGE toy store! If you wanted a toy, you could find it there. They even had a section where you could make your own muppet! Here I am in the animal aisle and I saw a moose hat, well, I had to try it on. :)

We stopped by a store that was beautifully decorated on the inside. As Sydney says, "It doesn't even come close to the real thing!" 

We were walking and we saw the Museum of Natural History. For those of you who don't know this, this is the museum that was used in "Night at the Museum" Huddy saw it and was all like "There's Rexy! (the dinasour)" He loved it and even got a dinosaur shirt. 

Here is another picture with Huddy and the "long neck" and he likes to call it! 

As you can see, Huddy was super psyched about our visit there! He still talks about it at dinner and when he prays, he thanks God for us ice skating and going to see the dinosaurs! :)

New York- Day 1

Wednesday we landed in New York!!! (well actually, Newark) We got to the hotel bright and early, ate breakfast, got ready, and left for an awesome day in New York! We went to Gap, the American Girl Store, MACY'S, Starbucks, etc. Here are some pictures below, enjoy!






Here Sydney and I are getting ready for the day..it was really cold. (duh) 
This is the view from our window, you can see all the way down the street! 
We are at the American Girl Store here. It was really cool to see all the stuff in person (not just on a magazine) and Syd liked it because it was "organized"...?



As we were walking, we saw this old church. I thought it was pretty so I took a picture! (of course) 



This is the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center (not lit up, there is a pic further down) 

Huddy saw the lion at the Library here so we took a picture! He was all like "I wanna picture with da wion!" 



As you can see, here I am with the tree when it IS lit! It was really cool! 


I am so glad that we got to go to New York with our parents! It is so cool and I can't wait for tomorrow! :)
