An Afternoon in New York City

First things first: the highlight of the afternoon - especially if you ask Kylie - was this - on Broadway: 
Kylie was mesmerized by the LIVE snakes that this guy was showing off to everybody - inviting people to take photos while holding one of them - for pay ('course!)  
Kylie kept sticking around, petting the snake again and again - until the guy just decided to put it on her (without pay) and telling everybody what a very brave girl she was (he didn't even ask our permission - oh well, too late - she loved it!!!)

Even Spongebob was there!!!
Here are some more photos from this afternoon - - -

WOW!

What a city!!!

It's INTENSE

INTERESTING

BUSY

CROWDED

NOISY

CRAZY

TOURISTY

MULTI-CULTURAL

GOOD TO VISIT -

 but are we ever glad we don't live here :)

No offense - we're just not city-people...


Taking the Metro - first time ever for our little ones

VERY EXCITING - especially for this lil guy!!!

Coming out of the Subway

Lots and lots of interesting things to see today - looking at the re-building of the World Trade Centre

All the cranes and work being done is fascinating to watch - in the background you can see one of the towers built more than half-way already

New York was definitely way too noisy for Shayden!! He was plugging his ears most the afternoon...

Hmmmmm...

What can I say???

Seen from a distance on a (free!!!) ferry-ride - trying to imaagine what early settlers might have felt coming into the city by boat -

Crazy sisters - enjoying the afternoon

No comment needed :)
