New York City trip!


The country mice went to visit the city mice this weekend as we went to see Auntie Amy & Uncle Anthony in New York City!! Here are the pictures!!!


Here we are on the train ride down!


Hey Mama look- a bridge, and a boat, and the trees, and a train, and a boat, and the trees, and the train track, and a car, and a truck................
I wonder why nobody sat near us?


After we got to New York City, we walked through Central Park and the first stop was the Central Park Zoo. Here is a Sea Lion on the rock in the middle. He was lazier than Max!!! Imagine that!


Here I am with Uncle Anthony in the zoo!



Luke was loving his zoo view from the stroller.


Here are the crazy monkeys! I wonder if Ya knows them?


Here I am trying to spot the Snow Leopard- he was hiding but I found him!


And I also found the rare Urban John Deere Machine exhibit!! JACKPOT!


Then we walked down 5th Avenue (fancy!) to Rockerfeller Center. There were a lot of people and even a skating rink! I had a yummy "street bagel" (aka- pretzel) on the way- YUM!



Dada, Auntie Amy, and me in front of the skating rink. Surprise surprise, I'm not cooperating.



Lots of tall buildings all around.


They cleared the ice of people and we saw a marriage proposal!
awwwwwww isn't that.... WHATEVER GET OFF THE ICE!!!! Because here comes the......


ZAMBONI!!!
What is it doing outside? I thought they only lived in hockey rinks under the stands! Whatever it was awesome, I wanted to see it clear the whole ice but we had to get moving to FAO Schwartz!


We went back to the apartment and relaxed a little- here's Uncle Anthony reading me a story.


We loved their big coffee table! Its a little hard to see but we are UNDER the glass part of the table. There's my police helicopter A&A bought me at FAO! I flew it around their apartment making rescues all weekend!


On Sunday we went to the Museum of Natural History- I was loving all the taxis outside the museum.

Here I am with Auntie Amy in the museum lobby checking out a dinosaur.


Here are the Lions- ROOOOAR!!


Luke is checking out the big Hippos!


Elephants on the loose!!


The Dinosaur floor was the best! Here I am running alongside a T-Rex!


And here's another T-Rex roaring right at us! AHHH!!!


I loved the interactive museum stations!


I actually took these two pictures- here's Uncle Anthony!


and Auntie Amy!
not bad huh?


Luke's checking out the Upper West Side!


Luke was brave wearing his Red Sox gear in New York City.


Monday we went to the Children's Museum Of Manhattan.
Here's a pic of me sliding down the Woo Woo Pole- wheeeeeeeee!


Here I am driving a New York City Transit bus.


Luke got a chance on the bus too!


And the highlight of the museum- I got to drive a New York City fire truck! and dress up as a real fireman!


And apparently we walked right by Matt Dillon on the street!
(not actual photo)
ummmm......who? Is he in Diego? or Dora? Wonder Pets? Sorry don't know him.

Whatever Matt! We loved you in Good Will Hunting!!!!!


Thank you to Auntie Amy and Uncle Anthony for hosting us all weekend! And putting up with the mini meltdowns! We had a great time.
