Laura's Visit to NY

One of my best friends in the whole world came to visit me 2 weeks ago! I was SO excited to see Laura...it had been almost 3 years! It was a short visit, but still wonderful! We had a great time just hanging out and talking all day Friday...then we went to Tanger Outlets that night for some frozen yogurt and a little shopping. Saturday we went to NYC. I decided to take the kids with me because I didn't want to take the risk of having to come back if AJ was upset. I figured he would just sleep in the stroller (which he did most of the time), and Caroline would have fun in Central Park (which she did). The only bad part was that the Wall Street protesters decided to move to Times Square that day! So, as we were heading back from Central Park to Penn Station we saw some protesters on the left side of the street...we were casually talking about them when we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by them. It was awful! Luckily I had Laura with me because she is much more assertive then me. She yelled at everyone to move out of our way! Caroline was kicking everyone from the stroller and grabbing their butts, lol! It took us about 20-25 min to get through 2 blocks! Other then that, our trip to the city was great and I was so happy to be with my BFF!
Here are some pictures! My face looks slightly fat because 3 days before this I got my left wisdom teeth out. They were impacted and I ended up with a dry socket...it was not fun! I still have to get the right side out, but they are right on my nerve so I will have to go under anesthesia. Not looking forward to that! Anyway, pictures!


Their first train ride! Caroline loved the choo choo!

Pooped!










Right before we reached the protesters we ran into Elmo! He wasn't the real Elmo though...he had a scratchy voice and asked us for money in his basket since we took a picture, lol.

Stupid protesters!

The popo's coming in on their horses!
