We were blessed with Jim’s cousin Amy and her daughter Megan joining us for a long weekend while our Arizona cousins were here. We seized on the addition of all the extra helping hands (plus another good friend Allison) and took a day trip into New York City.
We took the train into Grand Central Station (I felt sorry for the people on the train around us, but we sure enjoyed ourselves!):
And we braved the Subway like pros:
We visited Ground Zero, which was a first for many of us. We didn’t see the memorial, but we visited the church where the first responders rested and recovered:
The kids (especially Jimmy) were so fascinated by the 9/11 history that we splurged on souvenir handbooks for them all:
Then we headed back to Times Square and finished off our whirlwind trip with a trip to the Toys R Us and the M&M Store:
What a fun, full day we had!
(Inside joke for Bubba, Amy, Alli and Allison – did you know that ever since our NYC trip, Danny has been periodically yelling, “Stop the train! Stop the train!” 
)
Great pics! Alli just told me the stop the train story 🙂
Where is that last picture taken? the waterfall/fountain with the glass tunnel? That place looks cool 🙂
