Talkin' New York

"Let's go people!" - this was Lily's latest order when Mom, Dad and Lily were attempting to leave the house - just one of the many funny things she has been saying on a pretty regular basis.

We have returned from the big city of NYC where we had a very busy and fun time with local cousin Emilie, and Stephanie, Donna, Stephen, and Bubbie. Lily loved riding in the taxis and looking at all of the "really big towers." On Saturday, Lily visited a local playground, and then Mom and Dad went to dinner and a show, while Lily had some fun with the rest of the crew - she slept through dinner, but had tons of fun playing before and after dinner - yes it was a late night for Lily as she decided she needed to be up to greet Mom and Dad when they got back to the hotel. ;) On Sunday, Lily went on a horse/carriage ride in Central Park - she was fascinated by all of the horses and kept saying she wanted to ride one (we'll find out in a few weeks when we go to a farm with pony rides whether she is just a big talker :)) - and we also visited the polar bears, penguins, sea lions, and monkeys at the Central Park Zoo. Overall, Lily had a fabulous time and made it an early Monday night to recover from all of the activities, and to catch up on some sleep before school tomorrow.

Enjoy the pics, see you next week!

P.S. - Due to battery malfunction, not too many picture this week. Enjoy.

P.P.S. - Thanks to our imported and local babysitters for a great weekend.
