A Day in Manhattan

We drove the car to Weehawken, NJ to park and then took a bus straight into Manhattan. I don't think it took longer than 10 minutes to get there. We were dropped off outside the Port Authority and began our journey from there.



We walked over to Time Square and they really do have the lawn chairs for people to sit in and "experience" the city!











David said he always wanted a characacture ... they said $5! So David took a seat and 5 minutes later his drawning was done (not funny like David wanted, but pretty good). David had to haggle with him though because the guy put it in a framed protector and wanted to charge him $25. David only had $10 in his hand and the guy finally took it, but very unhappily ...

After a quick subway trip, we made our way to the site of the Twin Towers that was totally under construction, but then we made our way to see Lady Liberty. Another must-see along the way ...

Vow Renewal Ceremony, June 21, 2009


Crazy Daisies were placed at all the tables ...


The start of the ceremony began with us building an Ebenezer or stones of remembrance of how God has been faithful in our lives.


This is what it looked like when we were finished placing the stones.


Next, we exchanged our vows and rings.


Not forgetting the kiss!


Lastly, Jared had an announcement to make ... daddy's expression went from this ...


To this ....


To this ... Happy Father's Day!


Jared is as excited as daddy.

Then onto grilling burgers and dogs while Kevin plays some songs and sings beautifully ...
