Visit to the Empire State

Well as most of you know Chris served his mission in the New York New York South Mission form Sept of 07- Sept of 09. He loved every minute of his mission and was an awesome missionary. Ever since he got home he and one of his companions (Kennedy Speirs) have talked about coming back. In March Jessica (Kennedy's wife) and I finally talked the boys into taking us back:) good thing we did because with our new addition coming I'm afraid it wouldn't have happened. So on August 10th at 11:00pm we boarded the plane to JKF. I have never seen Chris so excited:) on Thursday we met up with a friend of Chris' and he walked our feet off in Manhattan. Friday was the day that we fulfilled a dream on chris' bucket list. We went to a Yankees game at the new Yankee stadium. Unfortunately they lost but it was still amazing!!!! And we got some great pictures of Derek Jeter just in case this baby is a boy;) don't worry we also got pictures of the Brooklyn bridge because we all know it is a girl:) haha. Any way here are the pics!!!



My favorite New York pizza!!! Jk that is for all you office fans

Incredible stadium 50,085 seats!!!



Freedom Tower at Ground Zero. The feeling there is so humbling and spiritual. I am so grateful to those who serve this great nation.



Chris and Kennedy at the new stake center in Jamaica Queens. This is really huge for these people out here.

Sorry the pictures aren't amazing the best ones are on the camera and I'm on my phone but I'm so happy we were able to go back. Unfortunately it was a short trip but now we have an excuse to come back:) when I was a kid and we went on vacations that we loved at the end my dad would give us a penny and we would leave it behind so we had something to come back for. We are definitely leaving our pennies!!!!
