THANKSGIVING IN THE CITY

Jeff, Ammon and I were able to go to New York for our Thanksgiving break. WE HAD A BLAST! We stayed with Becky, Brandon & Caden and really enjoyed being with them. My cousin Erica and her husband Nate Kitty just moved to New York so we were able to spend time with them as well.

We left town during a massive snow storm and quite honestly we didn't think our flight was going to leave.

We finally made it to New York after a loooong drive in severe winter conditions. A delayed flight due to bad weather and one child puking on the flight! Ammon was completely exhausted so he put his "curtain" (as he called it) on and took a snooze once we got to Becky and Brandon's.

We started things off with a trip to the American Museum of Natural History. We headed for the Dinosaurs and Ammon was in heaven.


The outside of the Museum was just as cool as the inside.

Getting ready for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Ammon playing in a huge pile of leaves in Central Park.

Our feast was Delicious. I loved Becky's words right before we ate. "Thank goodness for Granny Brown." We were able to make quite a few of Granny's delicious thanksgiving specialties.

The photographer rocked this shot!

The boys and me enjoying some rich American history! We even had our own tour guide...Thanks Brandon!

Ammon loved F.A.O. Schwarz...I am pretty sure the adults were having just as much fun.

Ammon's favorite part about NY...the subways!

The Christmas lights and decorations were set up. It was all amazing!

We were able to walk the Brooklyn Bridge with Nate and Erica Kitty. We had such a great time!

Testing out our skills on the ice at Bryant Park. We were all a little rusty!

Jeff and Becky teaching the Boy to skate.

I think we had more fun posing for the camera than we did skating :)

Best popcorn in the world...no joke! We had to get some. I would like to thank Aunt Mel for getting me addicted to such a healthy treat.

Mamma Mia, here I go again. My, My we sure loved the show!

Top of the Rock looking out at the Empire State Building. What a view from up there.

We were able to enjoy so many other things on during our stay. Jeff and I were able to go for a sweet run through Central Park. Becky and Erica and I did TONS of shopping. We even went out for a midnight extravaganza. Becky and I had to walk about a mile with out shopping bags in the middle of a down-pour at 3:30 in the morning. SO FUN! Brandon, Nate and Jeff were also able to enjoy some turkey bowl football (they all came home dirty and a little beat up). I almost forgot to mention all the GREAT food! Thanks again Becky, Brandon, Caden, Nate and Erica for helping create some great, lasting memories.
