NYC Pictures - Part 2

Times Square

Double Decker Bus. Ashlynn wanted to sit on the top deck and in the very front. We had a great view. Plus we got to witness how many accidents almost happened...eek!!

The girls loved M&M world! 

Brookie decided she did not want to take a picture with me. Little stinker!

Our drive through Manhattan....we had to drive drive straight through it to get to our hotel. I think we lost a few years off our life doing this, hehe. Tip: be on alert for anything and everything. Also everyone thinks the few inch gap btwn you and the car in front of you is enough space for them to merge... 

The ball is much smaller than we expected! 

NYC Pictures - Part 1

Ashlynn at the Empire State Building

At the top of the Empire State Building

On top of the One World Observatory. Tallest Building in the Western Hemisphere. 

9/11 museum- Ashlynn soaked up this day. She was fascinated to hear what happened. She was also deeply saddened. She wanted to know everything!

The Statue of Liberty was her favorite day!

Summer

Brett finished his first summer session! It was quite intense taking 6 classes. So far he's doing quite well in his classes! We are very proud of him! From what we've heard the first summer is the hardest. He just started a two week break which he will thoroughly enjoy taking a brain break! The girls are excited that he will be home everyday!

We decided to take a trip to NYC while he is on his break! Brett has been to the city but I have never been. We are going to hit all the highlights! Looking forward to the sights and taking lots of pictures! 

Ashlynn still has a month until school starts! This is a long summer for her! She's been enjoying making new friends, play dates, VBS, and the exploring the house and our big yard. 

Brookie has been her sisters shadow all summer! They seem glued at the hip a lot! We are searching for a pre-school for her up here. Hopefully we will find a good fit soon. 

The weather has been beautiful this summer! It's pleasant to spend the day outside!  Lovely 70s and 80s. We've had a couple 90* days but not many. We are happy we are missing the 100*+ heat! My parents said it was 106* the other day at their house! 

We sure do miss our family and friends in Texas but we are enjoying and thankful for the opportunities and journey God has us on!
