More NYC

We have been so spoiled this year, NYC twice! Dave and I attended his cousin Paul's beautiful wedding to his wife Allison in July. The ceremony was in the NYC temple and then lunch and dancing at the Boat House in Central Park. We decided to take Sam on a vacation with just Dave and I before he turns into a teenager and won't talk to us anymore. We had the time of our lives! Sam loved his first subway ride, his first broadway musical (Shrek), his first trip to a NYC ER (asthma attack), his first stay in a pent house on Park Avenue (thanks Linda and Richard), his first gyro at a street cart, his first bike ride in central park, his first visit to the Natural History Museum (looked familiar thanks to "Night at the Museum"), his first view from the top of the Empire State building, and all of us loved our first visit to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. We had so much fun getting to spend so much "quality time" together. We can't believe Sam will turn 12 next month and become a priesthood holder. The other boys are already planning their private time trip and so are we!
