New York………

November 21, 2009

Our family vacation to my hometown was amazing!! The kiddos got to see fall colors and jump in the leaves, which they enjoyed more than I could have ever imagined! It felt so nice to feel the cold…though my Florida thinned blood was shivering at 40 degree temps! LOL. It was also great to be in NY to watch the Yankees win the World Series…even if we didn’t get to go to the game. And although I know my husband would have loved to go to the parade, along with the other 1 million people who were there…it was probably more enjoyable watching it from the couch! Poor guy! Sorry honey….I promise next series win…you are there!!! Well, here are just some of the shots that I was able to capture of our trip. Enjoy!

Here are the boys playing with cousin Emma in the leaves. Look at CJ…he had just landed in the leaves after leaping and catching air…look at that face! He was full on laughing the whole time!!! Pure Joy!!!!

This is Maxine, my canine “sister”. Max is 12 years old, and one of the smartest dogs you will ever meet!!!! She opens the microwave, closes doors on command, and will fetch just about anything you ask her to get! I love you girl, and I miss you like crazy! Thank you for being so patient with JT & CJ!
Max

My beautiful sister in law, and her gorgeous daughter! Wish it wasn’t so cold out this day, as “E” was too cold to continue shooting! It was the coldest day of our trip!!

Finally, I saw these flags lined up and knew that I just had to stop to photograph them. My kiddos had such a great time running through them. My youngest is a wee bit obsessed with flags, and has to scream out “FLAG” every time we drive past one! So, you can only imagine how in awe of this sight he was! LOL
