New York City....here we come!

We are here~yeah!! The flight was a little crazy but the kids did well and Brody slept most of the way. He was an angel as always. After we checked in our first stop was dinner. We went to Hard Rock Cafe. The music was loud but the food was good considering we had not eaten since 8:00 this morning. Jerry sent a text message to the missionary that taught me the discussions that is now living in NY city. He was just getting off work so he came and had dinner with us. He is an aspiring singer with a voice that will bring tears to your eyes. He is so talented. It was fun to see him and catch up on how our lives have changed.

We walked to dinner and the kids were in awe with the tall buildings. Tyler is in snap-happy mode. He cannot snap enough pics to capture all the cool things he is taking in. It is so fun to see how each of the kids are saoking up the big city. Even little Brody's eyes are as big as silver dollars. There is soooo much to see and experience. We are sticking to the budget with the kids and it is working really well. Tonight they wanted to rent an movie and we told them they could split the cost and pay for it. They changed their minds and watched regular TV. Thanks to Steph for the heads up on giving them spending money.

We are now tucked in and shutting things down so we can recharge for tomorrow. We are so excited to get out and explore. Tomorrow will probably be a parade, zoo and ice skating. We'll see how long our legs last. Good night!
