New York City Feb 2011

On Feb 11th, our entire family ventured to New York City to watch Renee's two boys, Adam and Jack while Renee and Mark went to Vancouver where Mark was the featured speaker of a Church Planting Seminar.

The boys had a busy schedule so the pictures I did capture were few and far between, but we got a few to document our adventure.

We attempted to get a family photo- on the coldest windiest day we were there- so we look quite frigid. An Australian tourist was kind enough to try to take our photo but my camera gave him some trouble so the two pictures below are without Roman looking or with me giving him directions as how to use it!

We decided to try taking the photo using the timer and propping the camera precariously on a ledge, but as you can see below, Roman was not cooperating and Matt was trying to get him in position and by the time the picture finally took- this is what you get!! (I was ready :)
Finally a decent family photo (below) although Roman is STILL not looking at the camera which is not a surprise with him.

Roman's favorite mode of transportation was riding on Dad's shoulders. We visited the Central Park Zoo where Roman was mesmerized by the sea lions and the polar bears.











This hawk was a welcome site in NYC Central Park surveying the remaining ice and snow for a meal that may just scurry across the ground.

Although traveling with a 1 year old had its challenges, we had a good time with the boys who helped make this trip much easier by their great behavior and their knowledge of the city.
