i didn't believe they would come...

we are always glad to have guests and we were thrilled to have mom and dad in town. we were in a state of happy shock to have the hopping clan here as well.

brenden (cousin) was super happy to spend his 6th birthday in nyc. he decided that he no longer dreamt of becoming a firefighter but he would much rather work as a subway driver! he adored the trains and loved riding the 'b' for brenden train.


mom and dad prefer suburban living but they embrace city life to spend time with us!


the hoppings in times square...heading to toys r us for the birthday boy!



kayleigh in the life sized barbie house...


we spent the next day in lower manhattan touring some of the city sites including the statue of liberty via the staten island ferry...





we headed up through the financial district, into china town and finished at the empire state building. by then my 13 year old cousin had a whole new outfit and posed for the camera in her 'new york' gear...
