NYC Trip - April - Day 1 - NYC Public Library

Dad got me a vanilla milkshake from a ice cream truck right near the library. 

This way I can have a cool refreshing drink before we head into the library.

So what do you think about that lion over my head?

I'm thinking of getting a closer look at him..

One piece passed.. Now onto the next part...

Climbing up onto the lion.

Almost on top.  Just one more big climb.

Look at me!  I'm riding on the lion!

This is fun... Maybe not as much fun as being on a luck dragon, but still fun :)

This time I've got a picture of me and Mom in front of the lion.

Okay I'll let you take the milkshake out of hands so it looks better :)

I took this picture of Dad in front of the fountain.

Then I got this one of Mom and Dad.

Okay I'm about done with the milkshake, let us head on into the Library and look around (for ghosts? :) )

Me and Dad looked at a bunch of different stuff, like this huge books of maps of Manhattan. 

Mom read me a book in the children's area.

NYC Trip - April - Day 1 - Empire State Building

There it is... The Empire State Building!

I'm ready to go on up there!  Let's do this.

Inside the building, they have this cool piece on the wall.  Everyone grabs a picture in front of it, it seems.

I think the floor tiles are cool.  Don't you?

What a view!  This is soooo awesome!

Yep... New York City is definitely a cool place to see.  Just look at all the buildings.

And from the Empire State Building we can see everything it seems.

It's a nice, mostly clear, day.   Hey Dad, can I get the camera to take some pictures too?

It is a tad windy up here, just look at how Mom's hair is blowing, and I put my jacket back on.

This view is just awesome.

Dad and Me, enjoying the amazing view and sites.

Mom and me, having a good time on the Empire State Building.

So is those real gold leaf on top of those buildings behind me?

Thanks Dad!  I'm glad we're finally here.

Okay, now give me that camera Dad... I'm going to take some more pictures!

Like this really good view of the city streets.

Or this one of the tall buildings.

Well it's about time to head down from here and head to the next destination.

Let's go to the NYC Public library, see the lions, and look for ghosts!

Fun in the Sun

 It is a beautiful day outside today Dad.  Let's have a lot of fun!

First up some Ladder ball.  This should be enjoyable... if we can ever get the balls untangled.

Next up, I'm willing to help out doing some yard work... Like cutting up the pine branch.  It is a lot of hard work to do this.

So I'll cool off washing your car... Watch this...

 ** SPLISH**

And down it comes onto me... That helps cool me down.

See it's a lot of fun!  Although I'm going to have to change now before we do anything else, I'm soaked.

Ready to toss some airplanes around the back?

I got mine... Next up I'll grab yours.

Okay I got the two of them... heading back your way.

Ready to toss them again?  I think mine is going to do a cooler move then yours this time.

Boat Racing in the Steam

Mom and I made straight inline boards with some decoration and such.

Dad mad something different... Basically an outrigger type. 

Well let's head down to the stream.  I've got the grabber for helping to move them if they get stuck.

Are you ready to do this?

Okay I'll toss mine in first.

And off it goes!

Mine is in the lead, Mom and Dad's are in a tie.
