New York City

Warning: Picture Overload!! Devon's oldest brother, Shawn, and his wife, Gina, came out to NYC for a Dave Matthew's concert. We got to have them at our house for two of the nights they were here. It was a lot of fun! One of the days we went down to NYC and had a blast!
 In front of the Lincoln Center.
Shawn and Paxon with Theodore Roosevelt in front of the Natural History Museum.
 According to Paxon, this is him getting eaten by a crocodile.
 Paxon and Ryan with, according to Ryan, a Mommy and Baby dinosaur.
 Paxon and Devon with Paxon's favorite dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
 Ryan LOVES turtles. We had to get a picture with this one, look how BIG it is!
 Picture turned out shotty, but Paxon wanted me to add this one and tell everyone that the tiger is about to "eat his head off!"
 We hit Time Square right at dusk and all these cartoon characters were out and about wanting $2 to take a picture with the children who love them. We were walking by, ignoring all of them, until we hear Ryan squeal!! She jumps out of the stroller and RUNS, full speed, at Mickey and throws her arms around him! Mickey was caught completely off guard, but he adjusted nicely.
 Ryan with Mickey and Minnie.
 Time Square after nightfall. It is so incredibly bright!
 The lobby of the Empire State Building.
 We went up during the night. It was amazing to see the city with all its lights.
 The elevator shows you how many feet above the ground you are.
I don't know how we pulled of a family picture with everyone smiling and mostly looking at the camera.

So cool! I didn't realize how close you are to NYC! What a fun place to be able to take a day/weekend trip. Did you go to Central Park? Did you ride the subway?
