August

On August 8Th we headed on a plane to New York. We wanted to visit our family. We had so much fun. The last time we had gone Korey was alot smaller . He was smiling ear to ear. The whole week prior to the trip all I kept hearing was when are we going on the plane. When we arrived into NY my dad's good friend John had picked us up and drove us to my Aunt's house in Islip. So we got in pretty late. The kids were so exhausted as well as Steve and I.. So during our week in New York we got to see all of our family. We had spent sometime with Aunt Mary ,Aunt Shari, and Gianna. Amber and Gianna had so much fun playing with each other. So that Sunday we had gone to the Long Island Game Farm. The kids loved everything about it. During the week we got to see Grandma Ann and Grandpa Lew. The kids had a blast with them. We had gone to there condo on the beach and spent time there. The kids loved playing in the sand and going in the ocean water. After the beach we got dressed and headed to Uncle Dave's and Aunt Michelle's to visit. We haven't seen them in a really long time. It was nice to have all the cousins meet. I can't believe how much the boys have grown. We had alot of fun with them. Some days we just stayed home and relaxed. Another day we took the kids to see there great Grandma in the Bronx. It was really nice to see her. After the visit with Great Grandma we had taken the kids to the Bronx Zoo. Boy was it packed. I have never seen it like that. But we made the best of it and had a blast. After the zoo we had gone out to eat for Italian. Yum!!! I was waiting to have that. The Italian food in Wisconsin can not compare to NY. I had gotten in touch with my friend Danny from High School and he had come over to see us. It was great to see him. The last time I saw him was a year ago and before that it had to be at least 8 years. So it's really nice that we keep in touch. The last weekend that we had in NY was our Aunt Shari's b-day. So on Sat we had a BBQ with all the great NY food and with all of our friends. It was nice to be able to just hang and talk to everyone and catch up. The last full day which was Sunday before we left My Aunt Mary and I had taken Amber and Gianna to two more beaches. It was so much fun.. Also during the week we had rented a car so we can go show Amber and Korey where there Mommy and Daddy lived and show them all the different places. I love going to New York.. But I love living here in Wisconsin. Thanks for such a wonderful time everyone!! We miss you so much.
