NYC Stock Exchange- we were staying just a few doors down from here with Jenn. It doesn't getting better then staying right on Wall St.
Ground Zero Experience-The church were the firemen stayed during 9/11. It is now turned into a little memorial museum. Very cool to see.
View of the Brooklyn Bridge.
You haven't visited NYC until you visit the bull. Everyone was standing around waiting for photos with the head. Clearly we got the better end and no line!
We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, and yes, it's as long as it looks a few photos above. So we had worked up a good appetite for some NYC pizza.
The hottest girls in NY!! This is a view of Jenn's neighborhood.
Ahh, Grimaldi's! Some of the best pizza ever! The 3 of us were able to down this in no time and then still have room for ice cream!
The famous ice cream house in Brooklyn. I recommend the double chocolate chunk on a cone but...on a HOT day with crazy humidity watch your new kicks,
there was no way I was getting chocolate on these beauts!
The city from across the river.
Yankee Stadium. The real reason I finally got my NYC trip. Chad had to make it to the "house Ruth built" before it was too late. The game was fun and as always you get the rowdy crowd in the bleachers!
Lady Liberty! 
Chad and I were not planning on going to Ellis Island. But glad we did, it was very interesting and who doesn't need a history lesson every now and again?
Radio City Music Hall
NBC Studios-this was really fun. We were able to do a studio tour and see how this joint works. We visited a few different sets including SNL-Chad's favorite.
Rockefeller Center- Chad really starting to feel like a tourist!
Chad and the Spam knights. We had to hit a Broadway show, so we ended up meeting Craig and saw SPAMALOT. I was not real excited about it at first but I loved it...HILARIOUS!
Times Square in the rain
Leaving our show in the down pour that came seconds after this photo was taken. The streets turned to rivers and the muggy subway stations got a whole new meaning!
Mr. Roker! The man is tiny, but does a fantastic weather segment. "And here's whats happening in your neck of the woods... " LOVE IT!
We were able to make it on the Today show. Nice job on our part for getting by the girl who was having her sweet 16. You know that is always a given!
Note the two happy people in the back! Hi mom!
Just in case you missed our television debut...no worries KRisti has amazing bootleg skills. I knew that girl learned something while living in Mexico City.
Wrapping up things at the Today show.
Central Park.
This is for my Dad- the ultimate Beatles fan.
Jenn and I enjoying huge bowls of rice pudding. Yum!
Little Italy- After this street and Chinatown I can say I am well traveled and will never pay full price for anything.
Holy Cannoli 
Ghost busters Firehouse
This is how we knew we got the right one...our "tour guide" had been confused before and somehow missed the HUGE sidewalk mural. We had a great time and ate great food. I'm just glad we made it safely after our cab ride from the airport to Jenn's place I thought we were going to die! Apparently traffic rules don't apply to cab drivers -traffic?? who cares that's what the shoulder is for right? No need to stop or slow down, if people are smart they'll get out of the way. But I guess one good thing is we made from JFK to Wall St. in record time...25 mins....amazing!!
Blake found out that going down a water slide by himself was quite the rush, he ended up really liking it and having a great time.
Luke- my lounge man! Just working on his tan. He doesn't have time for frivolous things like water slides and diving. He's all business!
Later that night we were able to see the fantastic fireworks show that PG city puts on. We have been going for years and are never disappointed!
What better place for a photo opt then a firework show? Fantastic lighting! We all have a natural glow. Blake loved them even though he looks board out of his mind.
My Mom and Dad -two of the best people I know! I don't think my dad is happy with me for interrupting his firework show to get this photo. The man takes his pyro-technics very seriously!
We were all pleased that Schaack & Co paid us a visit that night. What could be better then a bunch of Cooks, carmel popcorn, red vines and glow sticks? Obviously they made a good choice to join us!
The next day we ventured off on an ATV trip. We hit up a trail from Wasatch State Park to Cascade Springs. The kids loved it and I don't think I have ever seen my Mom so dirty or with a mustache!
Ryan, Camden, & Sue Ann finishing up their ride. Ryan once again thinks it's a race and is giving us the fist pump because he thinks it makes him look cool. I think it's still up for debate. Still not sure what kind of gang sign my mom is flashing. I will have to follow up with that.
Bryce and Caiden -the wild ones! If there was any extra bump or jump to hit they were the first to do it. Also Bryce thought it was fun to spin donuts in the parking lot we were all hanging out at....thanks for the dust bath! 
We stopped for lunch at Cascade Springs. We found a nice shady spot right in the middle of the trail. I'm sure people were annoyed but we were hot and hungry. Steph, Bryce, and Chad snagged the bench after the old lady with the cane was all rested up.
I really think he plays sports because he loves Gatorade and feels he NEEDS one after a game. He says it gives him back his energy, and T-ball takes a lot of energy!
