We left for New York on August 14th the plane was supposed to leave at 4:50 p.m. my dad didn't get home from work until 3:50 p.m.! Ya we were stressed however our plane was late and we ended up not leaving SLC until 6:30 which means we didn't get into NYC until almost 1:00 in the morning. We were all so tired! 
Dad, Mom, and Me on the airplane!
Jordy, Jenna, and JD.
So on Friday night we had tickets to the Phantom of the Opera. It was really good. However it started to rain as we were walking to the theater. We didn't have umbrellas so we hid under a store front pondering this dilemma. When some man walked by selling umbrellas we bought four and let the boys suffer. However J.D. couldn't take it anymore so he found another man selling umbrellas bought one and we continued on our journey. Well we finally made it to the theater with one wet dad. Mom bought him a sweatshirt from the "gift shop" she was cold so she bought herself one. Well we really looked like tourists because here are parents were walking down Times Square hand in hand with matching Phantom of the Opera sweatshirts on. Oh did I mention that the Phantoms face glows in the dark! Ha Ha
Here we are waiting to get seated at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC!
TIMES SQUARE!!!
The girls and one of New York's Finest! Jenna asked him to pretend like he was arresting her. But he couldn't do that!
This guy was AMAZING. He was just seating there singing away!
Me, Dad(wearing his Phantom sweatshirt), and Jordy on the subway!
CENTRAL PARK
Here we are in front of something that was in some movie. I just can't remember what it is or what movie it was in!
Look familiar... It should it is the fountain from FRIENDS!
This guy and one of his friends peddled their hearts out as they showed us around Central Park!
Here we are in our Pedi-Taxi's! Yes we really fit three in one! It was CRAZY!
Dad and his girls at the Top of the Rockefeller Center!
Mom and Jake
The view from the Top of the Rock!
This was probably the best Ice Cream I have ever eatin! And to think that we bought from a man selling it outside of a truck!
In front of the American Girl Doll Store!
The Hudson River is our back drop!
The view from our Tour Boat on the Hudson!
This picture says it all. After touring all day long and walking, walking, and doing some more walking we finally caught a bus back to the city. J.D. took this opportunity to take a nap!
Land of the Free.... Home of the Brave
Pictures from inside/outside of the Statue of Liberty Museum
The girls at the top of the Statue of Liberty
Ellis Island
This was probably one of my favorite stops of the trip! It was the World Trade Center Museum. It was a very special place!

This was probably one of my favorite stops of the trip! It was the World Trade Center Museum. It was a very special place!Ok so after five days touring the city we headed upstate to visit Church History sites and also go to Niagara Falls. It was a long drive which I had to drive the whole way. But we made it there in one piece and very quickly! At the beginning of the day I never thought we were going to make it there cause dad started to freak out because we had brought to much stuff and couldn't fit in the rental car!
Here we are in the same room that the Angel Moroni came to Joseph Smith! It had an amazing feeling.

Ok so this picture s really funny. We were trying to take a girls picture but when we looked closely in the background we noticed that the boys popped out of behind the monument to be in the picture as well.
