New York, New York

So, here are a few of our great pictures from our New York trip. It was great, I don't think Bryson was quite prepared for the amount of people that are actually there. After a while you can just block them out and focus on the surroundings, there is always something going on, it is a very exciting place....

The one below is at the Toys R Us in Times Square it is huge, 4 floors with a ferris wheel in the middle.

The famous NYPD in downtown Times Square.

Having fun at the downtown Hard Rock Cafe, they were slow and we were bored, hence the video...

Central Park Entrance

The Museum of Natural History, this is the museum where Night at the Museum was filmed, it was huge. It was fun to come home and watch the movie and recognize the places we had been.

A cool picture of one of the many tall buildings, it was hazy in the sky so it looked way cool,

kind of like a scene from Batman....

A typical New York scene....taxis, steam and a cool church.

The famous New York Times Building


Well, we had a great time. There are lots more pictures I couldn't decide which ones to post, you will have to click on them to get more detail in the picture....we can't wait to go back. New York is a place that no matter how long you are there you feel like you could have stayed for another week and still have lots to do and see...The best part about New York...you can pass gas anytime because it is so noisy and stinky that noone ever notices, not that I have done this personally....

Karly getting down.....

Here is a video of Karly getting crazy at HARD ROCK.. I am sure this post will be deleted soon so if you are one of the lucky people to see it leave a post and tell Karly how much you like it and want it to stay posted... Enjoy

Hiking in Great Falls, Virginia

We decided to take a drive on Saturday down to Great Falls, Virginia. It took us about 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there. During the drive we passed through Maryland, Delaware, Washington D.C. and Virginia. It was a beautiful day and a great National Park!

We are headed to New York tomorrow, so look for more pictures next week!

This is the beginning....

Hey, everybody we are finally up and running and we decided to be cool like the rest of you and create our own blog. We are pretty much settled in, the last of the boxes went out to the trash yesterday. We are liking the area except for the yummy smell we are greeted with each morning, which we found out is the compost that the mushroom farmers use around here, we also found out there are 125 mushroom farms in our surrounding area so if you drive anywhere around here in the morning the smell goes with you, we are seriously considering omitting mushrooms from our diet from here on out. I will post pictures of the house and we are going to New York soon so I will post pictures of that as well. When Ashley and JJ went to New York she was surprised to see a man on the street in a box, she said she didn't realize that homeless really meant without a home, so now Bryson and Preston want to see for themselves. Ashley started early morning, I should say Ashley and I started early morning seminary it begins at 6:00 a.m. sharp, they have their largest seminary group ever at 26 kids who meet at one of the member's houses, lucky for me I live the closest to her (2 miles). A special thanks to our father's for driving us out here and working long hours for little pay to help us move in, we love you.
