I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!! This was a great place to visit - and I would love to go back. Maybe next time, with no kids. It takes a while to move en masse and I was continually counting children to make sure I had them all. While Austin didn't go, McKenna's friend Heather did. She was fun to have along on the trip - because McKenna argued less with Tessa!!
Empire State Building of course. Coop bought himself a King Kong souvenir here.
A view from the top.
Another.
It was very chilly up on top, so the kids headed inside quickly. I thought it was fascinating to walk around and see the view from each side. I could have stayed much longer! That's Heather by the way.
Snuggling to keep warm.
Down on ground level again - in Times Square. I took this picture for Martha specifically. Or maybe she still has her poster from our Raintree days?
We were in NYC on Maia's birthday - and she is our baby lover so OF COURSE we had to go to the American Girl Doll store!!!! It was a blast! Cooper and Maia bought the "twins" that Maia had been wanting for ages. Ivy got her very first Bitty Baby. She named her LukeLeah (do you think she watches too much Star Wars with her brother??)
Here the dolls are getting their hair done. We checked Maia's baby Sammy into the hospital to have some "repairs" done. (Maia got her when she was 3 and she has been loved heavily since then.)
Trying to decide which outfit she's picking for Sammy - mom's buying her one for her birthday!
That is a good daddy. Willing to carry two full American Girl Doll bags through Times Square, NYC. He doesn't let his ego get in the way of making his little girls happy!
Coop getting his caricature drawn. The artist gave him lots of muscles! Notice LukeLeah on Ivy's lap in the stroller.
At the wax museum in Times Square.
Down time at the hotel

Great to see your pictures. What an experience you have had. Thanks for letting us see Boston the way we did. We would have never gone back with our kids if you had not lived there. Lucky family. Once in a life time experience.
We will be happy to have you home soon.
