A Sabbath Day in New York

Rockefeller Center and the amazing Christmas tree.
Ben being naughty in the New York City Public Library. It was amazing. The thing we really enjoyed were nice and clean bathrooms.

Can you believe they are even in there church clothes???


We enjoyed watching people ice skate. To be truthful we enjoyed watching people fall. Brian got nervous and we had to leave. He didn't want to deal with any broken bones on his day off.
Everyone know I am not one to keep secrets! So, a few weeks ago Brian and I wanted to take the kids to NY for a day to see NY at Christmastime. We looked into it and it was too cold all the days around Christmas. Anyway, the Sunday after Christmas we got up and got ready for church and started talking about how we didn't get to go to NY and Brian was going back to work the next day. We were sad. I like to be spontaneous so I said, "hey, lets go right now." We went downstairs and low and behold it was a amazing 60 degrees. OK so I know what all of you CA and AZ people are thinking. Big deal! But when it is normally 20 or 30 that really is amazing. We thought the Lord would understand. We listened to church music and only let the kids watch church DVD's and had a wonderful day as a family.
