Last days in Jersey...

Our last week in Jersey City was jam packed.  We squeezed in another visit with the Keane's in Manhattan (and our cousins), the kids and I did a little sightseeing, and Isabella and I started a craft time during Jack's naptime.
We headed to the Empire State Building

The view of our apartment from the top of the ESB.
Stopping outside Madison Square Garden...we also visited the Shrine of Padre Pio
I decided we needed to start doing something during nap time so we bought a few art supplies and started a craft time.  It was really fun and Isabella was super in to it.  We made far more crafts that day than I had planned.
Watercolors
A sunshine made of handprints
A wand made from craft sticks
Later that week we headed over to Manhattan and went to a playground in Central Park with Meghan, Riley and Piper.  Aunt Katie, Gianna, and Mark also came and we had a big fun play date.  



Gianna liked playing with the chalk and getting it wet.

Isabella and Riley loved this tire swing.


Isabella loved our doorman Bernardo.  He was there during the day.  This was when we said goodbye.
The ice cream truck was always up the street from the apartment.  This was our last visit.
Isabella got chocolate...what a mistake!
We also had the pleasure of listening to some bands that would set up down by our apartment in Newport.  Isabella broke in to dance at the sound of the music.


We had a great time in Jersey but our time was up.  We headed back to Virginia to see Nonna and Pop-pop.
