Eli was very excited to have his Gallagher Girls come visit for 3 days at the beginning of June and we were very excited to see Kim & Bill and celebrate Kimmy's 31st birthday
(31? When did we get so old?).
We had an amazing time, doing some fun tourist things in NYC and showing the Gallaghers our city (Bill, Ally and Mckenzie had never been here before!). I am very impressed by how well all 3 kids did! What were we thinking, traveling all around the most populated city in the US with a 5-month-old, a 17-month-old and an almost 4-year-old? They were all great though! We might be crazy, but we have fun!
Here are LOTS of photos to tell the story of our great trip!
When the Gallaghers arrived, it was early evening and a nice night, so we headed to the Bronx and our favorite Orchard Beach (which also has an awesome playground) ...

(LOVE his expression in this one!
"Mom, why are you always embarrassing me?") |

That night, we went to our favorite little Italian restaurant and gave a quick driving tour (since the Bronx really looks nothing like a beach!).
The next morning, we headed out for a full day of sight-seeing in Manhattan!

Eli -- don't you know that you're not
allowed to sleep in Zuccotti Park anymore? |

After hanging out for a late night on Broadway, we brought the kids home and relaxed. It was such fun to sit around and have some beers
(and read some notes from high school!) while the kids are asleep!

We followed up our exhausting tour of Manhattan ... with another day of touring Manhattan!
