A Very Cold Central Park Walk

Well the girls, Tracy and I all decided to go on a walk through Central Park...when we left it was cold...but while we were gone temperature dropped probably 15 degrees...so we scurried back!!! It was frigid!!!




Campbell(of course refusing to wear her mittens)

Campbell decided she wanted to lead us on the excursion!

A beautiful shot of the city..from inside park

One of 2 ice-skating rinks inside Central Park

Mary Kate pretty much missed the whole excursion to and through Central Park..she was all bundled in the stroller of course!

Right before heading back they were letting the skaters back on the ice..it was amzing to see how many were skating in that COLD!

Pottery Barn Kids-NYC

From where my aunt's apt is in Manhattan..there is a PBK about one block from it...so we frequented it often....but this particular day we decided to go we got a big surprise! When we walked in the store.....none other than The Cat in the Hat was there!!! The girls of course didn't get overly excited or anything...ha! But at least we got some pics with him! Since it was Sat. morning there were about 100 people with children running everywhere in the store...apparently it's the happening place on Sat. morning.

I thought it was very cool that they were having a special with The Cat in the Hat...and even a story time while we were there of several Dr.Suess books...however my girls weren't that interested...they were more interested in the very awesome dollhouses they had for children to play with(of course...so you will buy it)! Campbell decided that she wants this dollhouse and all the furniture for her birthday...I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Alice's Tea Cup in NYC

I had found this really neat Tea place online called Alice's Tea Pot(kinda went along with Alice in Wonderland theme)...it was very fun drinking tea na dhvaing lunch for all of us girls! Campbell and Mary Kate got sprinkled with fairy dust when we came in and got fairy wings to wear.

I thought this was a sweet picture of Campbell and Mary Kate in their fairy wings!

Campbell decided she would rather drink hot chocolate instead.

The first couple of days in NYC

Here is Nana, Mary Kate and Campbell(and lets not forget Isabel)...flying to NYC! It was actually Campbell's 2nd time to NYC...the last time we were all here I was pregnant with MK.

Only the best toy store in the world...FAO Schwarz!

Story Time in FAO Schwarz

Both girls listening attentively...

Mary Kate had crawled up onto this bench and thought she was very cool!

Eating lunch at Chelsea Market....which was on Rachel Ray's list of places to eat...so that's why we did it of course!

Mary Kate being silly

Tracy caught me with my mouth full...so this isn't a cute pic!

This is just a random pic of the lady singing and playing the piano in the McDonalds downtown about a block from The World Trade Center site...just though that was funny!

The last time we were in NYC we got ton of pics of the World Trade Center site...because they had an exhibit set up where you could walk by and view...but this time...we couldn't get as close...because they are in process of construction for rebuilding. Where you see the crane is the site though.

We cut our exbidition short that day because if you can tell by this pic...it was snowing hard!!
