We have loved living in the city. What a great experience for our family that we will remember forever. Here we are in front of the temple/church. I can't imagine life without the mormon culture. Besides learning the gospel, we have made such amazing friends that have helped us learn how to love and enjoy the city. We knew our stay was going to fly by, so to be able to hit the ground running was a big deal!
This is my view every sunday morning in the elevator. Our family and stroller basically fill the old elevator to the brim! But it's sure cute to see.
YAY... the fire flies finally came out and the boys have loved spending time in Central park searching for them and capturing them. Below is a few pictures of the fun....
One more week so we had to hit as many touristy things as we could. Fortunately, NYC always has free events going on. And with the mormon network, you always hear about them! We started the day off at a smuckers event down in the Flat Iron district. Isn't the flat Iron building amazing? The free smuckers apples and fruit sauces where a nice treat too.
Next we headed to the East side to take the tram ride over to Roosevelt Island. We actually didn't do anything at the island but the tram ride over the East river was pretty cool. The boys loved it.
Every since I took my mom to Serendipity's for her birthday dinner, my boys have wanted to try the Frozen Hot Chocolate. We got 4 different flavors and the favorite was the original. I love the peanut butter one, but the original was a close second for me. Definitely enough to share....
We wanted to hit the butterfly exhibit at the American Natural History Museum, but of course with my luck we missed it by a couple days. UGH... good thing they have very cool IMAX movies to entertain us instead. The unseen world is really cool! The boys loved it. Well, Nate fell asleep, but then when it was over cried for about 10 minutes that he missed it. :) Such a bummer to be so tired.
We grabbed some friends after school and headed downtown to the cool parks by the hudson river in battery park. This picture above was taken seconds before Luke tried to scale the wall and a rock came loose. OOPS... not too serious of an injury, so we headed off to another park to play and enjoy the sunset.
We are going to miss these cute kiddos when we are gone. Sam can't figure out where the Todd's are moving too. He thinks everyone just comes to NYC to visit and will be going home like us. He was really confused when their mom said they were all born here in the city and have lived here their whole lives. :)

Can I again just say how jealous I am and how awesome all the fun and adventures you've had! PS you look great! Why can't I be a cute prego day like you?!
That flew by… I can't believe it's already time for you to come back. And good for you for living it up while you were there. You definitely kept busy and played hard in true Nadauld fashion.
My kids are so jealous of the fire flies. We saw one in the hotel parking lot when we were in North Carolina, but that was it… Such a bummer.
Can't wait to see you next week!! Safe travels.
