end of the weekend

on our final 2 days in NYC we continued with the trend of hanging out, with the occasional venture out.  on Friday, we headed to the American Museum of Natural History.  per Will's request, we headed straight to the 4th floor... and a dinosaur lover's dream!  I must admit it was real neat to see so many fossils of all the different dinosaurs Will talks about. 
Friday evening, Will, Isa and I headed to Carla's apartment for a few hours to hang out with the boys.  Matthew and Jack were so happy to have the kids over to play with.  it was nice being able to catch up and chat with Carla and Tom. 


 nice walk back from the museum
 cousins =)

Saturday (our last day there =(  )we headed on a walk through Central Park.  It was Cold, but we still had a blast... taking pictures, climbing "mountains", walking Ace, holding hands.  So many great memories.  Isa isn't one to hold hands (she is very independent), but on more than 1 occasion she went over and held Mary's hand during our walk.  It was heartwarming.  Will did the same with Uncle Justin.  We feel so thankful to have had this time with them. 
When we returned from our walk... we all wanted some hot chocolate... well... Will had another concoction in mind.  On our walk back, he kept talking about making us all "muddy marsh".  The cutest thing, was that when we returned to the apartment, he grabbed a bowl and some ingredients from the fridge and got 6 spoons for all to share.  Justin and Tobin were GREAT sports eating his "muddy mash" (lukewarm chocolate pediasure with marshmallows).  Mary and I had a small taste.  needless to say... priceless memories were made.  thanks again Mary and Justin for letting our family invade your home, and sharing so much of your time and love with us.
