Lasts

It has been a week of lasts. Lizzie attended her final sports class on Thursday. We will certainly miss it!

Always sit by your coach! :)

Here is Coach Steve with all the kids. Thanks for a fun program!

Chris attended an Ethics conference in New York on Thursday and Friday. So we girls drove up to meet him in East Rutherford, NJ. The girls loved everything about the hotel room, especially the beds.

We took a ferry across the Hudson over to NYC. Here are some excited faces!

Lizzie wanted to be the photographer for this one.

The bright lights of Time Square awaited us.

And of course, Cate fell asleep.

So Lizzie got her picture taken with Hello Kitty.

And the Disney Store was the favorite of the night!

The girls were sound asleep by the time we got back to the hotel :)

The next morning, after some breakfast, we headed back into the city. This time we took a bus and the girls were equally excited about it.

We entered Central Park and enjoyed a lovely stroll through the greenery.

Recognize this building? (Home Alone 2...THE PLAZA HOTEL!)

We found FAO Schwarz and the girls went crazy.

Cate loved the enormous dogs!

Lizzie found a Pinkalicious doll--it's one of her very favorite stories.

And the princess dresses....oh the princess dresses! If only they weren't $70 each...

After lunch, we headed back onto the bus to explore SoHo. We even found a little park for the girls!

All in all, it was a good trip. Exhausting, but good! Doing NYC with kids is a whole lot different than doing NYC with a bunch of teenagers (last time I was in NYC was when I was a senior in high school). I'm glad we Killion ladies drove up to meet our dad. Chris points out that next time we go to NYC, we should make it just us ;) This week was my last time to host preschool, and Lizzie's last classes with her friends. We focused on BROWN--we made turkeys, decorated gingerbread men, ate an all-brown picnic (ritz crackers, graham crackers, chocolate chips, pretzels, etc.), and had an outside scavenger hunt for all things brown. It was a really fun week with the kids!

Next week: JERSEY The week after that: TEXAS Stay tuned!
