Chicken literally falls from the sky in New York!
Okay, so only if you are sitting on a park bench under a tree where a bird drops the chicken from it's mouth down in front of you!
cole thought the sky was falling...LOL
We woke up with an excited energy to get the day started. Bridget and Jack packed up all of the fun baby stuff to cart around the city and we headed to see the Statue of Liberty. We took the Staten Island Ferry and got a great view of the city, the statue, and other islands. The massive ferry provided a great relaxing time to be grateful to God for allowing us to spend time with dear friends and reflect on the blessings we are experiencing. Well, we did all that after we realized we weren't on a ferry that actually took us to the Statue of Liberty. Oops! LOL! We put it down on the agenda to do Saturday! Still a great time and experience to learn more about the city!
Lunchtime provided us with some delicious hot dogs and churros. Oh and chicken from the kind birds in the trees up above! We got to experience the tourists, locals yelling, and people napping randomly. We headed to ground zero which is really now a construction site for the new WTC. They have the first 104 floors completed and it seems to be a massive undertaking. Everyone remembers where they were that day so it seems strange to tell Cole about it. He wasn't born yet, but it is still so real to me. It's a sad thought and questions still linger in my mind about it, but God is always the answer I find. We headed to see the Brooklyn Bridge, but didn't quite make it all the way there. NYC is the most distracting place! Time can go by so quickly when you want to stop and examine everything. Jack had made it all day and it was time to come home to some NY pizza and relaxing time!
Manny (Bridget's husband) skateboards so he took the boys to a new park behind their house. It is a quick walk to the local park and they met a lady doing a documentary. She asked them to come and skate tomorrow so she could get some video. This made their night! They had a blast! Dayne says it was the best part of his day!
Continue to pray for Sophia...report is good and she is making progress. Also, pray for our nation as a people of God. Another prayer request we received today is for Jeanette's dad who is in the hospital. Feel free to comment for your prayer requests as I have really been talking to God ALOT lately!!!!
