...in all things love: NYC day 2

Day 2 in NYC began with an early 6 am walk with me and my boys in their pajamas (because who cares, you're in NYC) through Central Park. My cousin lives right by the park, so it was an easy answer to an early morning. I'm SO glad we chose to do this because Central Park in the wee summer morning hours is just....so...mm! We also saw lots and lots of little puppies. Stan would be sad to leave one, so we would say, let's go find another! It was also fun to feel like I could let them walk and run and climb a little, since there were so few people there. It was nice, and I could see them. We also got some famous NYC bagels, then to Colombia University to check out the beautiful grounds, to the Yankee's game (because, why not!?), and finally to see Romeo and Juliet performed by the American Ballet Theater. Just no words to describe how beautiful that was. Also, NYC is a very romantic place at night! Good day.

Mason took no time to climb on that Alice statue

love that he can nap on the go. What a champ.

We ran into a group of missionaries - and I just asked if any of them knew my nephew who was serving in this mission. This Elder just happened to be his trainer! SMALL WORLD.

get ready, get set.

Colombia

these two!!

we got lucky and got to sit in the shade since we had a stroller. Score!

Mason really got into the game

such a fun stadium - we won, which was a bonus

my only regret - not having a Yankee's baseball cap. :) Fun day though!! This is while they played 'New York, New York' over the loud speaker. These New Yorkers feel pretty passionately about this city, and I can see why.

tender cousin moments at the Eyi's pre dinner feast

pre ballet excitement going on right there. It was my first viewing of professional ballet. We got to watch a dancer from Russia - Diana Vishneva apparently the best in the world and she was....wow!
