NYC in a day

On our way back home from Aunt Jellys house we stopped in downtown NYC. All the boys have been talking about for months is going to see Central Park and The Plaza Hotel. Lets face it my boys are absolutely obsessed with the movie Home Alone 2. We had a limited amount of time but we managed to fit in a picnic at central park, Thanks Aunt Jelly for making us a lunch!
The boys had a blast climbing all over these rocks. It was a pretty hot day and we didn't have a stroller, so it was quite an adventure. Trent and I took turns carrying Jaida and all her gadgets. She is extremely heavy with all her oxygen and monitor. We made it work though. We also had Gracie with us, so that made it even more interesting. I couldn't believe all the people that came up to us to tell us how beautiful our dog was!

The boys were really excited to get a balloon here in the children's portion of the park. They have a little children's zoo. We didn't go in because we had Gracie.
Although, the boys really had to go potty so Trent snuck them into the Zoo to find a bathroom. You will pretty much do anything when your kids have to go to the bathroom. They saw some seals and monkeys on the way. We are planning a return trip soon so we can actually enjoy it.

The boys were really excited when they saw this.. The Plaza Hotel. They asked if we could spend the night. hahahaha. One can only dream!
Taking a pit stop after a long haul through the park. We were so hot and sweaty! It felt good to just sit there.

They loved sitting on the front steps of the Plaza hotel. They are so cute. They pretty much have that whole movie memorized.

On our way out of town we headed over by the WTC Towers so I could see Ground Zero. Such an eerie feeling. We stopped also by the lookout of the Statue of Liberty. The boys were pretty spent by then. We can't wait to go back and see more! Next time I am for sure taking a stroller!!!!
