Visitors in NY

So you will notice that the more trips we have and the further I get behind the shorter I get with the explanations and the fewer pictures i show,,, (yes it is fewer there are TONZ more that aren't on here so be thankful I have scaled it down.)
so I hope that the pictures will speak for themselves because I am really behind in posting :)
4th of July fireworks

We had a lot of fun with my mother in law and my sister Adrien when they came to visit. We drug them all over the city seeing as many sights as possible in a weeks time, actually we saw quite a bit in such a short time, prompting Adrien to grown saying "are we going to have to do all that again when mom comes?" sadly I don't think a 12 yr old is as impressed with it all as we were :) I think she liked it though it was just REALLY tiring walking everywhere and all the public transport... It was a good time!


Fun times in the city
our lego cabin Don't they look alike??!?

Yankees game





Palmyra NY
We went to the pageant in Palmyra this year with Adrien after my mother in law went home and before my mom came leaning us with just enough seats in our car for a road trip!
but it poured on us the whole trip so we didn't take very many pictures of the pageant which was Amazingly awesome and I would recommend it to Everyone!!
we also saw where the Book of Mormon was printed and had a lovely tour that Izaac got to help out with, this is him holding up his unbound pages for all to see, he took this responsibility very seriously and held it right in front of his face very still for all to see, he was so cute :)


we had fun stopping at a park on the way home and seeing some amazing waterfalls

My Mommy came to visit!

My mom is a fun tourist because she takes pictures of EVERYTHING and is excited about it all as well so it was fun to show her around a bit, but we didn't get to see very much so we are excited for my family to come again so we can show her more of the city :)

W had a great night eating at Gramaldies and then walking the Brooklyn bridge


but returned to find our GPS Carmen(as in sandiego, you know "where in the world is"(because she tells us where in the world we are)) missing and our window smashed... so we obviously concluded that carmen was called on a secret mission and had to leave immediatly, so she took her cord and broke the window in her quick get away, I hope it was worth it Carmen...

Maine

Izaac was really mad that we didn't get to go up in the light houses so we were told about an observatory that we could climb that would be like the same thing. Izaac loved climbing all those stairs!

This is the crazy road that our GPS took us on that ruined our car because we were dumb enough to keep going through all those huge puddles before finally turning around and going through them all again... Oh Carmen you were crazy...

The Pemiquid lighthouse!
They had great rocks to climb all over and we all loved it!

Acadia National forest

Eating some seafood by the ocean!

We stopped by a candy store to see Worlds ONLY life size moose made of Chocolate!
Cora liked the Jelly beans :)
We stopped to play at a park and get icecream
