Fun time with Friends in the Big Apple

Rockafeller center
Bubba Gump Shrimp'n company. Yummy yummy!
Here we are out side the temple, enjoyed Sacrament meeting on the 3rd floor chapel.
Just hanging out and resting our feet, it's been a hard day shopping.
Subway is the "only" way to go, the less stressful way.
Gotta keep our ears warm!
Our countries symbol of Liberty and freedom.
Ellis Island
Visiting the Statue of Liberty

Suzanne showing us her ever so huge slice of lunch.
Cross Bronx Pizza stop, yummy!!!

Our good friends from home visited the "Big Apple" for a couple of days. We spent a couple of days rekindling our friendships. They are like family, it was like there had been no time or distance between us. We tagged along with the Tour Group, the drill team from Bingham High and many of their parents, that Rex had booked a trip for. It was so fun to be with Paul and Suzanne and Rex and Danine. Friday, we subwayed up to the Bronx, to our old stomping grounds at the Bishop's store house and then to lunch at "Cross Bronx Pizza". A must when visiting "Da Bronx". That night we all went to the broad way play "Wicked", and dinner at a quaint Italian place on Restaurant Row. It was awesome. Saturday we subwayed down with the group to the "Statue of Liberty" and Ellis Island. A very cold cold day. Froze our totsies off. Enjoyed a fun lunch at "Max Brenner's Chocolate factory", then the guys went to check out the "Intrepid" Ship Museum on the Hudson, and the girls went "SHOPing". Dinner at "Bubba Gump Shrimp" was excellent. Sunday we enjoyed church at the 65th street chapel, there in the Temple building. Fast & Testimony meeting. We sat and watched the Ice Skaters at the Rockafeller Center while the rest of the group toured the back stage at the Center and went to the "Top of the Rock" observation deck. Time goes by so fast at times like these. We said our goodbyes and spent the night up at the Mission Home.
