Our last day in the city... We spent the day in the park, of course! We I wanted to get the boys sketches done, buy some city pictures and watch the street performers. Perfect weather for our last day here.
The boys got to play in a band that was pretty cool. You can see them in the video with this link here:
Nadauld Band in the Park
We got to see Boo perform one last time...
The boys all got sketches that we can hang in their rooms to remind them of the age they were living in NYC.
As I said, the weather was perfect... look how many people come out to the park on days like this. We love Sheep Meadow! I took this picture on our way to Hecsner Park (lower central park).
I love this park in the park because you get the great view of the city while you play in the water and on the playground. Taylor asked if it was weird for him to wear his swim suit. Of course he is probably one of only 5 adults wearing one, but I love that he loves to play like a kid still. I totally encourage this kind of behavior out of him. That way, I can sit on the side and visit while the kids are TOTALLY happy!

This picture below is our favorite homeless man. We nick named him Deli... because he is totally delirious. He dances and talks and yells to himself all day long. He is either hanging out at the park or on our street, so we saw him every day. He was nice to us, although my boys would not let me get close enough that he could touch them for a picture. So I just stole a shot from afar. What would the city be without a few crazies, huh??
The Todds threw a little going away party for a few of us families leaving the ward this summer. It was so fun to say one last goodbye to everyone we have come to love here. This picture with all the kids makes me happy. Isn't the view from sheep meadow amazing? Some of our most magical nights were spent right here, with perfect weather, perfect scenery, and perfect company.
I forgot to get a picture with all our friends, but I was able to get one with Lynda and Ryan before the night was over. I sure hope we can always stay in touch with these great friends. I don't know how they do it, but they rule the city. I have never met some one who hosts or entertains or serves or has fun like this lady and she does it all in the City!!! Come visit soon guys... my boys keep asking when we get to see you all!
One last peek out the windows. This is out of our front room window above. And one from the boys room out the East.
Packed and ready... 5am is EARLY!
BYE NEW YORK CITY!!! I hope we can come back really soon.
