Fun in New York (NY part 3)
The hotel pool was used often by our family! We learned it was a great way to tire the boys out and get them to fall asleep within minutes of turning the lights out.
Ethan mostly hung out in the 5 ft. area of the pool because it was the deepest end.
Who would have guessed that silicone rubber bands formed into shapes would be such a HUGE hit!?
The kids spent lots of time trading and comparing silly bandz after Grandma surprised them each with a new package.
Our NY trip would not be complete without a few trips to the Ice Cream Shack! I think I had four cones of White Lightening. It’s the BEST ever. I’m not normally a big ice-cream fan, but I can’t resist White Lightening. It’s probably a good thing we don’t have Perry’s ice-cream around our house!
Ethan really enjoyed the “Piece of Cake” flavor, Isaac was a “White Lightening” fan, and Lincoln just ate whatever was placed in front of him. :)
On Father’s Day before making the long trip back home we enjoyed a large breakfast with friends and family.
Ethan loved holding his smallest cousin, Claire. He was so good with her!
Our boys with cousin, Simon and Ronald & friends.
Somewhere along the way home we stopped for lunch at McDonald’s, where else!? Nathan and Elise left NY at the same time we did and they were near us on the interstate at lunch time. It was nice to stop, eat, and enjoy their company.
Wow! That is an elaborate Mcdonald’s display! I, unfortunately, did not get enough white lightening and only made it for one trip to the Ice Cream Shack. (As if I could ever get enough white lightening.)
these pictures are so cute!!! my kids are crazy about the silly bands as well. apparently, its the new trend for kids and even the teenagers in our neighborhood are seen wearing them!
