Taking on New York...

...with two strollers...I have never gotten so many strange looks in my life. But we had A TON of fun!! After watching Bryan and Wendy's sweet dogs, we had the opportunity to drive them home and spend the holiday in New York. We got there late Sunday night and had fun just lounging around Bryan and Wendy's beautiful apartment. The kids loved the huge tub they got a bath in.
Here is the beautiful sunrise we got to enjoy the next morning!! This picture doesn't do it justice.
We took Time Square by storm!! We were slightly "gung-ho" however. We got there about a half and hour before any of the GOOD stores were open and had to wait around in the freezing cold....haha.
We went to the Hershey's store!! The kids had such a wonderful time there...chocolate, chocolate everywhere...who wouldn't love it?
Their favorite part was helping a worker start the "chocolate machine" which would fill our buckets with chocolate bars!! Yay!!

Here are the kids with their hard earned spoils :)
Next, we went to the M&M store. It was huge, and so fun!! Jane loved the M&M man...Beckham was scared of him.
M&M's, M&M's everywhere...who wouldn't love it?
Of course, we had to hit the Disney store! Jane thought the princess castle was amazing.
These mirrors were so cool. You waved a magic wand of the specific princess you wanted to see and they would magically appear. I literally had to tear Jane away from this to give the other little kids a turn :)
The kids spent a good, long time in this little coloring station.
Next, we went to the Toys R Us store. Three stories of pure delight!! Here we are riding on the three story ferris wheel located right in the middle of the store.

Beckham loved the Dino...until it roared. Then he ran away from it...
Ryan in Willy Wonka land...
Lastly, we went to the Top of the Rockefeller building. It was cold...but so beautiful!
Beckham was way too fearless...he tried to squeeze through the plates of glass several times. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck the whole time.
Can't beat that view though!
What an amazing little New York adventure we had. Living on the East coast definitely has its benefits!!
