grandma and grandpa come to town

As mentioned in the previous post, Blake's parents, Gary and Joyce, came up from Texas to spend a few days with us. While they were here, we put on our tourist hats and took them on some adventures. Here's the photographic breakdown of the fun we had.

Wednesday: Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO; a ride on Jane's Carousel; ice cream at Jacques Torres on Water Street.

Thursday: Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to get away from the city, roll around in the grass, and see the Amish.

Friday: Chinatown, Fishs Eddy, Madison Square Park; and Times Square to try our luck for lottery Broadway tickets for Gary and Joyce (they won some and got to see Newsies).

Saturday: While I stayed home and prepared for Daniel's blessing, Blake and Garrett took Grandma and Grandpa up to the Met.

Sunday: Daniel's baby blessing. See previous post for pictures.

Monday: Staten Island Ferry; Imagination Playground

Tuesday: Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Grandma and Grandpa headed back to San Antonio Tuesday evening, and we were sad to see them go (but, I'll be honest, happy to have our living room back). We sure had fun while they were here, and strayed much farther from home than we would have had they not come, that's for sure!
