We didn't waste any time getting started. After we got to Trent and Paige's apt (which is super nice, and in the PERFECT location), the boys took naps. Then, we headed out to Build a Bear. SO FUN! William designed a NYC fireman with Aunt Paige.
Day 2 we felt that we had to do SOME touristy stuff, so we took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. William and I had done quite a bit of reading about the Statue before we went, so he was very excited to finally see her. Although, he was bit irritated that she couldn't walk around... :-)

That evening, we had to make a stop at FAO Schwartz! It is by far the best toy store ever. It was like the kids were in heaven. We walked around and played until closing. Hudson loved dancing on the piano, but William just wanted to watch. I was a bit surprised, since he's a bit of a showboat!
Hudson has a newfound love-- these ENORMOUS teddy bears. I wanted to buy him one because he just couldn't stop cuddling with them, but there was NO way I could get one in my suitcase!
William loved it when we went on the subway. The subways were probably the most frustrating thing about NYC b/c very few had elevators or escalators. So, we had to do the ole "3 man carry the stroller down lots and lots of stairs". It was a major pain in the butt, but thankfully there were 3 of us there most of the time to share the load.
As most of you probably know, William is OBSESSED with Mary Poppins. So, Aunt Paige watched Hudson one afternoon and we took William to see it on Broadway. It was a great show, and William LOVED it. He got a little stressed with Mary Poppins, Jane or Michael left the stage, but he was so good and loved every minute of it.
Hudson fell in love with Aunt Paige....and her boots!
What's a trip to the Big Apple without a hot dog from a hotdog stand, right? Even William and Hudson enjoyed one.
On our last night there, a friend of Trent and Paige's volunteered to watch the boys for us so that we could all 4 go out for dinner and dessert. We went to a very yummy African restaurant and then to Serendipity for dessert. It was SO YUMMY!! It was the perfect way to wrap up the week.
