What a Summer!

New York- New York

Here is some fun pictures of the travels and memories we made on our trip back East.

It was a great expirence but after a plane ride like we had I won't be leaving home anytime soon... We circled in the air three times making our trip two hours longer, I threw up in a small barf bag 9 times yes 9 times not to mention we almost ran out of gas which left the pilots thinking we would make an emergency land in Conneticut- then after arriving in New York we still had a conncecting flight to Buffalo where we spent the night at Bron and Megans home, which by the way was darling.. thanks.

Here is the beautiful Statue of Liberty. While we were there My mom taught me the poem that Emma Lazarus wrote of Lady Liberty, which is engraved on the foot of the statue.

These next photos are some of my favorites... The memorable walk we made up the Brooklyn Bridge.

In New York we ate well, two of my favorite places was this delicious place on the pier and the other BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP in which we didn't have the camera for, you all know are family loves shrimp!
Wade Grandpa and Jaden went to a Yankees game and to Fenway to a Boston game they said Fenway was unreal and had a great time. So for all of you that know my Dad (die hard Boston hater-Yankee lover) well get a load of this pict. What?- he is even wearing Boston apparel, can you say TRAITOR.

While the boys went to games the girls went to Boroadway plays. Grandma and Dani went to Lion King (amazing) and Tylei and Dani went to Little Mermaid (absolutely a must see). It was so fun.

On our trip we had many Jadenisims like: *Mom how do you turn black? *(After eating pink cotton candy) Why are my hands turning red- I must be turning into spider man. *(In the Sacred Grove) Why won't anybody listen to me.. I need somebody to help me say a prayer so I can see Heavenly Father!


We went to Sleepy Hollow and crossed the bridge that was written of Ichabod Crain and the Headless Horseman.

Now on to Washington DC and Philadelphia...

Where the Constitution was signed.Wade standing at Washington's tomb at Mt. Vernon.What a great picture!The home of Americas important documents, unreal to see with own eyes.Library of Congress. We got to see a lot of neat things in this building, some of my favorites were the Gutenberg Bible, the first maps that were made of the world, the quiet room, and Jefferson's library of books. It is absolutely beautiful inside.Grandma with the kids at Washington Zoo watching the little turtles some the size of quarters.Philidelphia... you gotta eat a Phili Steak Sandwich when you go to Phili.The Sacred Grove

A place we were anticipating to visit for a long time. It was absolutely amazing and a place so perfect for such a divine event. My testimony of the restoration of the Gospel and of Joseph Smith was already established before visiting this site but was neat to have literally walked those sacred places. It does make me more aware of Heavenly Fathers personal love for all of us and that he is no respecter of persons but can reveal himself to those that are worthy and seek him. Here are some pictures that I do truly hold close.
