Father's Day, 4th of July & Family

Well, it has been a while since I posted something. Things are going good out here in New York. We have been able to experience a lot of new things. On Father's Day we drove to the Scared Grove and we were able to see the first place where the Book of Mormon was published, Hill Cumorah, and also the Smith family farm. It is about a 5 hour drive one way, but we are going to take advantage of all we can see while we are out here. We are planning on going to Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Boston Before we leave home for Utah. Plus on our way home we are going to try and stop and see the other church sites on the way.
On the 4th of July Tyler only had to work a half a day. Which was SO nice for him to have a break. Instead of watching some fireworks we decided to go and see Phantom of the Opera. It was so fun and Tyler really wanted to go see it. We were able to go walk around the city before it started to.
My mom and sisters came to visit us about a week ago. We had so much fun. We went to the Wax Museum. That's were we met Will Smith. ;) We got to see lots of celebrities there, like Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, J LO, and so many others. We were able to go to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. We learned a lot of interesting things there. It was very entertaing. With my mom and sisters we went and saw the Little Mermaid on Broadway. It was so good. There was a variety of dancing in it. Tyler got to take a full day of work off to come a play with us. We went to the top of the Empire State Building, attempted to go to the Statue of Liberty Island but we got there too late. We also got to see Wicked! It was amazing and well worth the money to see it. And we got to celebrate Kalli's 15th Birthday! (My little sis is growing up) In central park with a picnic. We also got a lot of entertaining too. Just watch the video closely you might see a guy in a speedo. We got to see alot of dancing in the streets and did our bargain shopping on canal st. I am glad they came to visit and we can't wait for Kris and Mal to come.

We have been able to go to the temple while we are here. We have to leave aroung 5am to make it to the 630am session. It makes for a long day, but so worth it.

Some of the wives that are all in the same boat as me. That is me and Christi at a Yankees game.
