Knicks at West Point

Mark and Mylique got to see the NY Knicks practice at West Point!  What an amazing opportunity :)

Family day at Constitution Island

 On the boat from South Dock at West Point to Constitution Island (only a 10 min boat ride)

We went on a hike around the island.  Daddy and Hadley took some time to check out the Hudson River

We saw bunnies, goats, snakes, lizards, turtles and even a baby kangaroo! 

 Some of us were happier to be here than others!

Go Army!

It's soccer time!

 This is Sophia's first time playing soccer.  She's a little fireball on the field!

 She's also one of the smallest kids on the team

 M and Z are on the same team this year

We are in a busy season in life with practices and games almost every night!

First trip to NYC

 Waiting for the train to take us to NYC for the day

 Riding the train

 Smiles from everyone as we started the day at 9am

 There are no pictures from the return trip at 4pm...not nearly as many smiles then!

 These two CAN get along!!

 Grand Central Station

 Checking out times square

 The Natural History Museum was our main stop for the day

 We all loved the animals

 Getting a good picture with these kids is becoming increasingly difficult!

 Dinosaurs!!

 This picture sums up how the day ended.  Mark's face says it all!  We were tired and ready to leave (unfortunately it would be another 2 hours before we got home...)  On top of that we are missing a kid (don't worry, she is just off camera) who didn't want to be a part of the family.

 Honestly the day was fun, but we probably won't be heading to the city anytime soon!  We made memories that hopefully the kids will cherish :)
