New York City

Hailey wanted to sleep in after all our walking and she did until 10am
 Heading to the Met Museum
 Hailey liked to stick out her head out of the cab

 Street mime outside the Met. Hailey loved watching him and the next thing you know she got called up
At the Metropolitan Museum, Papu knew every painting and got yelled out for being too close to one.
Hailey drew a similar picture in school

 Boating in Central Park.  This was all Hailey's idea and she was the captain and did at great job of rowing us for an hour.  None of us had done this before but were pleasantly surprise at how big the lake was
 She really enjoyed it

 Central Park couldn't have been any prettier
 We took at carriage ride through Central Park.  Hailey took a long time checking out each horse and finally decide to go with Maybell
 Since we were the last ride of the day he rode us through the streets of NY on the way to the stables and dropped us off near our hotel.  It was a bit surreal and one of the highlights of the trip
 Hailey and I went to the Blue Man Group that night and it was right up Hailey's alley.  She was laughing so hard and loud.  Papa and Papu were lucky enough to get tickets to see Hamilton!
 At the end of the show we got teepeed
We walked all the way home to enjoy that last hours of NYC.  I love that you can walk around the city at any hour and feel so safe and the people were so friendly everywhere we went.  Great trip to the Big Apple

NY City

Twin Tower memorial was amazing
Typical Papu picture
Papu's picture- Us with the One World Trade 
The only living thing to survive 9/11 plaza

The 9/11 museum was incredible, it kept Hailey's interest the whole time and we learned so much

The museum had the foundation of the original towers inside it
NYC streeets
The Fearless Girl in front of Charging Bull on Wall Street
We can't go anywhere with Papu, her metal knee is always setting off alarms.  The security guard is yelling at Hub not to take a picture
Boat ride to see Lady Liberty
Photobomb

 We need longer arms in the family



 Going up to the Crown wasn't easy.  This was the stairwell and it had 301 steps.
 Inside the Crown.  By the time I got to the top my thighs were cramping but totally worth it.
Inside the Statue of Libery's dress
 Subway to dinner



 Beignets and milk
On our walk home, Flatiron Building
Just the norm around here

NYC

Hailey trying to hail a cab, she doesn't really get the concept, yet. 
Hailey got this new puffer jacket the first day in NY and you will notice she doesn't take it off.
VIP tour of Empire State Building
Going up to the 102nd floor
Views were incredible
 Hailey couldn't get over how the buildings looked so fake
 I got in big trouble for taking this photo of the photo, but I got it!
 Puffer twins.  Hailey is never cold unless she has an article of clothing she loves
 Hailey's favorite thing, Pretzel vendors on every street corner
 NYC Library

 Central Station- immediately Hailey said, "This was in the Madagascar movie"
1st Subway ride
 Central Park with a horse named Molly


Can you say Tourista
walking through the Zoo
 Lunch on a bench.  The park was in full bloom and gorgeous



 Walking across Park Ave to have High Noon Tea
 Properness

 Lots of security here
 That night we went to a Broadway show, School of Rock.  It was a very high energy show that we all really enjoyed.  Perfect show for Hailey to see
