a cute little family in the big city

we decided that since jeffrey had work off and elliot had school off we would do something extra fun. yet, i don't know why when we live 45 min from the city we decided to go into nyc on a holiday when there were twice as many people there, but it was still fun.

we hit the american museum of natural history first. i thought since we'd been there already we'd only be in there an hour or two. well, 3 1/2 hours later we were out. it was so much fun. the kids just loved running from one thing to the next and then to the next.

elliot's favorite place in all of nyc is the m&m store in times square. we rode the subway down and took this picture on our way to the store. notice sammy's little face hiding below jeffrey.

we'd never walked by the late show before. we figured it was picture worthy. here's for you dad allen.

columbus circle is one of my favorite places in nyc. i don't know why but it is just so pretty with the park in one corner, the statues, and the cars driving through the round-a-bout, the people crossing in all directions. i just love it. i know this picture doesn't do it justice.


it was a fun day. we came home and ordered pizza instead of trying to wrangle our tired kids in a restaurant. it was a nice relaxing end to a fun, long, and tiring day. i think when we move we're gonna miss ny a lot more than we realize.
