Going to Brooklyn, Going So Fast.....

We gladly worked an impromptu trip to Brooklyn into our schedule this past weekend.  Aunt Trisha's show, Sister Act, is scheduled to close in August on Broadway and we realized this was the only weekend we could make it there to see it!  We had an awesome trip and were reminded once again that we need to get you together with your cousins more often, even if it means 4 hours of Dad cursing while driving through Connecticut and New York.

Mom and Dad on our date to Aunt Trisha's show...here she is on the poster outside the Broadway theatre!


some shots from our backstage tour :)...we were so pumped after the amazing performances by Trisha and the other actors... Mom seriously had goosebumps the entire last act!



we couldn't miss out on getting our picture taken with none other than Raven, the star of the show (an arguable claim) For the record, Aunt Trisha said she would have come out of her dressing room so we could meet her, but we didn't want to bother her of course :)

What a fabulous trip... and I didn't even mention or take photos of our jaunt to Central Park!  Can't wait to do it again soon!
Love,
Mama

  1. Yes Jessica, we are expecting baby #3 in January!!! I was just thinking of you in the middle of the night last night and how you were the only person I hadn't told. I posted it on Facebook, but you're not there. Another AZ trip in your future?

  2. These photos perfectly encapsulate the great time the kids (and adults!) had this past weekend! Thank you for being such a wonderful encourager when it comes to vegetable consumption. :)

  3. Okay, so for some reason this blog was not on my google reader and I have just been thinking what a slacker you were for NEVER posting on your other blogs. Duh. Glad I found it and was able to get updated. Bastian looks SO big (and acts so big too- with his complex sentences and maturation out of diapers, wow!). You are the cutest mom and do so many fun activities with your kids. They're so lucky.

    I miss you. Did you get my email?
