NYC ~ Concrete Jungle

 September 10, 2011
We started the day off with a picnic in Central Park. Our kids love spending time with our "cousins" The Crane Family. My kids have adopted them as our cousins. They played and played and played some more and then we ate our lunches on the rocks.
 What would a trip to NYC with out going to FAO Schwartz? The kids had playing on the BIG piano in their "top 10 things to do!" Jaida even got to get in on the action this time. Except she didn't weigh enough to even make the keys work.

 We walked and walked and walked and... walked.
 Brock was out cold! I had to stop at Magnolia Bakery and get a cupcake. I ate it too fast to even take a picture. Take my word for it.. it was SO GOOD!
 Our crazy family in Times Square. This place can never get old to our kids. They love all the action.
 Trent and Brian, so glad that we have reunited with these friends. We absolutely love their family!
 We could hardly wait to ride the Subway.
 In front of the World Trade Towers, well where they used to be. Now they are building the Freedom towers and a memorial for the Fallen. We have to go back to be able to see that though.

 Was pretty incredible to be standing at this location 10 years after the attack. You could feel the heart ache. It was neat to see the firemen out and police out. There were so many people out there paying tribute to all the "Heroes!"

Pierce thought this wall was pretty cool. God Bless America.
