New York City

The boys and I went down to NY with my mother and Alex (my brother) aka Uncle Bert. They had come up for a race, never to just visit me ;0), and we traveled down with them. We were going to NY to help out my sister and watch my nephew Alex, so we stayed at Aunt Dani's house for the week. On Wednesday of that week, my father and I took Alex (my nephew) and Ryan to New York City. Originally, my father and my Aunt Susan were going to take the two boys, but being that it was Ryan's first time in the city and that he's only 3, I wanted to go with him. Turns out my aunt got sick and she ended up not going. It's a bummer that we didn't get to see her, we really enjoy spending time with her, but we had a nice trip anyway.

We took the train in and went to Central Park. The kids played on the playground/splash park area for a little bit and then we headed to the zoo. On our way to the zoo, the kids climbed these enormous rocks, that look like they are very dangerous, and they can be, but they actually weren't as bad as they looked. The kids spotted the amusement park and wanted to go there instead of the zoo. We figured, why not and decided to go there. The kids really had a great time riding the rides. The weather was perfect and all in all, it was a really nice day even though, "we have bigger fish to fry."

While we went to the city, Devin stayed with Nana and Pa. They took him to Friendly's where he had his first clown sundae. They also took him to the Holtsville Ecology center. It ws nice for him to get some individual attention and he loved every minute of it.
