New York, New York!

Saturday we had tickets to The Lion King, so we checked into our hotel (the gorgeous, Sheraton), ate lunch at a cute little deli next door to Carnegie's (we didn't have time to stand in the crazy line), and then walked to theatre.  As we were walking we stopped at some pretty famous along the way.  Timesquare was one of our stops.

We loved it!

I was going to get a picture with Minnie Mouse for Ansley and Woody stopped me on my way.  He roped me in and I couldn't get away (and he needed a breathmint REAL bad)!  Unfortunately, I didn't realize you had to pay for pictures with these characters...shucks!  Sorry Ansley!

On to the Lion King!!!

What an amazing musical.  They were so inventive in how they captured the feeling of the movie.  It was such a great experience!

After the Lion King we made a stop at FAO Schwartz to see if we could find Ansley and Brynn a little happy.  The store was a DREAM for any child!  There were 3 stories of toys, books, candy....you name it, they had it!  Jason and I thought this Lego statue was pretty cool!

Sunday was the big marathon day (the whole reason for this New York trip).  We stayed in the city that night so the boys could get a good nights rest and also because the ING shuttle left from the Sheraton that morning.  These boys got treated like ROCKSTARS by ING.  They had a huge charter bus to take them to the race site (with 4 people on it), a heated tent for when they arrived, and food/drinks for when they were finished running (we even got to join them).  They had it made!  We saw the boys at mile 8 in Brooklyn and mile 22 in Harlem (thankfully Jason was able to call us to let tell us where they were at).  It was so awesome to see how different the city was in all the burroughs. 

This picture is NOT good, but I was trying to do the video camera too.  The boys are on the far left of the runners and you can barely see Ryan.  They are rocking the orange ING shirts. 

This is one of my Harlem pictures...Ryan is the only one that made it.

Here they are after their big race!

Marissa, Whit, and I got one with our boys

Me and my STUD!

New York was truly so much fun!  We were able to see and experience so many great places in the city, watched a fantastic musical, stayed in a fabulous hotel downtown, and watched the boys run one of their dream marathons.  It was amazing and we can't wait to get back to the city that never sleeps!
