NEW YORK

We were able to be chaperone's for Kyle's performing group Upstage. We went to New York City and were able to see so many sights there, such as the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, the Natural History Museum, Central Park, Ground Zero, shopped on canal street, and saw the play Wicked just to name a few things! We had so much fun. There were 26 kids in the performing group and 20 chaperones. We are not sure who had more fun...the chaperones or the kids! After 3 days in the city we took a bus ride up to see the Peter Witmer Farm, Niagra Falls and ended with Palmyra and the Sacred Grove. The group performed 2 times, once at the Children's Hospital...it was pretty neat because they had a large open room and all set up with video equipment so the performance could be taped and broadcast into all the rooms throughout the hospital for those too sick to come down to watch. Then they performed at a rest home where the old folks just loved seeing them and feeling their enthusiasm and zest for life! We had a wonderful trip and wished it could have lasted longer!

I didn't get a picture of me with my great purse purchases!! That was an adventure I will never forget!! I am ready to go back for more!!

Kyle was so tall in the Joseph Smith home that he got bonked on the head!
