Scenes From The City

We had a great couple of days in NYC.

From a great time at the parade yesterday to ice skating in Bryant Park today, it was a fabulous time.

And we couldn't have asked for better weather.

Just picture perfect.

D excited for the parade to start.

E snuggling up to Hubby waiting for the parade to begin.

D watching for the start of the parade.

Everybody is eager at this point.

We made friends with a great family next to us.

They had 5 kids. Wow.

All the little kids had a great time being at the rail together.

Hello Kitty.  First balloon of the parade.

Charlie Brown.  He was a big hit.

Jimmy Fallon!  He was great playing up to the crowd.

He played with The Roots, his band from his show.

Kung Fu Panda turning onto 34th St.

Just a bit farther up is the "stage" area for the TV performances.  Right in front of Macy's.

E with the monkey balloon behind her.  It was fantastic to be so close.

Gotta love Spiderman.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?  Spongebob Squarepants!

The girls loved the Diary of a Wimpy Kid balloon.

Love this street shot.

Elf on the Shelf.

Sam from ICarly.  This was a highlight for D&E.  They were so excited to see her.

Santa closes out the parade.  Perfect ending to a fantastic parade.

Post parade.  Big Smiles.

E ice skating in Bryant Park.

They have a great rink set up.  And it's open until March.

So much easier than skating at Rockefeller Center.

D was a bit more tentative than E.

So like her personality.

She did great.

Happy girls.

No trip to NYC is complete without a stop in Times Square.

And the girls love going to M&M World.

potd #326.  Love this picture of Hubby with the girls.  Happy. Fun.
