Visitors-3

First: sorry the pictures are a bit grainy, I took them with my phone.

Okay, so our next visitors were Tyler's parents and youngest sister. They were here only a short time and so we were excited to show them around town. One of the exciting things we did was go see the Statue of Liberty!

Here's Tyler and Spencer all excited on the rocky boat ride over. 

Spencer with Lady Liberty.

Spencer and his aunt with Lady Liberty!

It was a pretty perfect day to go there, and she was amazing to see. 

Close up.

Interesting fact: She has chains broken at her feet!!! Most people do not know that because we can't see down by her feet. I love this photo too because it makes her look like she is in motion.

Beautiful copper green. 

This is the original torch, they had to replace it because this one started getting cracks. 

Manhattan skyline and Lady Liberty's shadow.

It was pretty cool to be able to get this picture of the shadow of the Statue of  Liberty.

Love our flag waving in the wind.

Here is Spencer and his aunt watching one of their favorite shows to watch together Avatar: The Last Airbender. They are so cute together and definitely look alike with long legs and arms. 

It was wonderful to have our family here with us and to show them lots of things we love about the city already, even though we might have made them walk a bit too much. Legs were hurting at least one morning while they were here, but luckily we could handle it. Thanks again for coming!!!

Loved this trip. It has been so fun to travel the world and country to see where and how our kids live.

I LOVE the pictures of the Statue if Liberty especially the one with the shadow. You guys seem to have had a lot of visitors but it makes for a good excuse to go out and do things super fun
