NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Garrett and I took the kids to New York at the first of June. It has taken me awhile to post because of Kennedy's birthday and we have been out of town. We had a great time. Garrett really wanted to take Dallin to Yankee Stadium since this is the last year before they are in the new stadium. Dallin may not remember it, but he can say he has been there and we took lots of pictures. We met a lot of people who were going to the games that were there for the same reason as us, they had to see Yankee Stadium before they tore it down. Suprisingly they were not even Yankee fans, just baseball fans. Luckily we are both. Yankee Stadium really is a cool place and watching the Yankees play there is awesome.

We did go to two Yankee games but we also did a ton of other things while in NYC. We shopped (of course), went to the Central Park Zoo, went to the 3 story Toys R Us store, saw Kung Fu Panda in Times Square and other touristy stuff. Garrett and I went to New York 5 years ago so we did not do all the tourist things, we did things the kids would more enjoy. The kids did great even taking the red eye flight there. It was a neat experience we had a really good time. It is a lengthy post, but I could not decide what pictures to put in and not put in and suprisingly I did not put a lot in.

Jeter going up to bat!!






The Old Yankee Stadium





Kung Fu Panda (really a cute show)





Mickey Mantle's restaurant






Central Park Zoo

Dallin's rally cap, the Yankees seem to lose whenever we see them live. Garrett seems to think its me because they have not won a World Series since we have been married :), but he says that he would trade the Yankees winning to be married to me. How nice hah!! (That is our little joke)















We tried to get autographs, but they did not sign any. We will have to wait until Anaheim they always sign for us there.





The Toys R Us store. We spent forever ther and Dallin did not want to leave.


Yes, we did push the double stroller around Times Square and Manhattan. Our hotel was in the heart of Times Square so we walked everywhere and took the subway to the Bronx for the Yankees game. We got a lot of attention because of the kids. There were not many kids there but people were really friendly and cute to them. I am sure we will be back in a few years when the new stadium is opened.
