Our Trip to New York
We went to New York over the July 4th weekend. It was so nice to see Pastor and Mrs. Mohl, my family, and friends. This picture was taken just moments after arriving. Lincoln loved watching the cars pass by. They are looking at Lakeside Drive and the beautiful lake in the background.
Ethan and Isaac had the best time playing at the lake shore.
We went to the July 4th parade in Mayville. It was a gorgeous day! The parade lasted two hours. There was so much to see and the boys loved collecting all the candy!
Mommy and Lincoln…and a big firetruck too.
Isaac was so excited to see this truck because it was ORANGE!
More candy, more candy! The boys left with so much candy from the parade! They got just as much as they got from Halloween this year.
Grandma and Lincoln.
Lisa (my sister) and her boyfriend, Jason.
The cousins: Gracie, Isaac, Lincoln, Ethan, Megan, Jedd, and Jenna. Aren’t they cute?!
Boating fun on Chautauqua Lake! Here is our whole family (minus Lincoln) in the gigantic tube. Look closely and notice Ethan’s face. Yeah, he was not a fan of the experience.
Isaac on the other hand was our brave one! I don’t think he stopped smiling from the time we got on the boat until we were back on solid ground. He loved it!
He even jumped off the back of the boat to swim in the middle of the lake with Daddy.
Here is our littlest sailor who slept most of the boat ride. Thank you Pastor and Mrs. Mohl for taking our family out on the lake. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it greatly!
After boating we went to Midway Park so the kids could ride rides. Here is Warren and the kids on the Dragon, the fastest roller coaster there. The boys, especially Ethan love this ride.
Mommy and Lincoln on the carousal. Lincoln got to ride this and the train.
Mommy, Ethan and Isaac going down the giant slide.
The kids enjoying slushes! Yummy.
One of the big disappointments for me was going to the ice cream shack and finding out they don’t make my favorite ice cream ever anymore. I only get to eat it once a year and I really was looking forward to it! I ordered the “peace of cake” ice cream and it was good, but not even close the “white lightening.” Bummer! Oh, they also closed Erickson’s Restaurant. Warren and I used to go out for breakfast there when we were dating so we made a point to eat there atleast once during our visits to NY. That was sad to find out.
Isaac’s ice cream matched his shirt so well so I took a picture.
The cousins playing together in the sandbox at my mom’s house.
Isaac’s looks like Piece of Cake ice cream too, am I right? I’m very sad to hear about the White Lightening! We are going up in Sept. or Oct. sometime and I was hoping to get some. I don’t know if it’s even worth the trip now:)
Beth, we are going up in September, too! If you could go before me and get them to stock the good flavors, I would appreciate it!
