Mackenzie takes Manhattan

This past weekend we headed back to NYC to celebrate Don & Kenzie's birthdays.  We decided to head down Saturday so we'd have a full day Sunday and part of Monday before the game. 

After Kenzie's nap we headed into the city.  And after a quick detour to Brooklyn we finally made it to Central Park.

The weather was sunny but freezing -- around 20 degrees, but it felt like 0!  Mackenzie just strolled along the whole day, taking in he sights, and made friends on the subway.  

By then we were in need of some warmth, so we did some shopping at FAO Schwarz and purchased a handful of Swedish fish for $7 bucks. Since the sugar high was just not cutting it, we then headed off to a late lunch.  Kenzie was so good the entire trip, but she sure does let you know when she has had enough.

Then it was a mad rush to Battery Park before sunset.

Finally we were back to the hotel for a little pizza and a very late bedtime for Kenz.  But look at those rosey cheeks!  This girl loves hotel rooms, but  I don't think she had 2 or 3oz of her bottle before she crashed! 

Day 2:  Oh boy!  Kenzie's first Knicks game outside of the womb.  At 9 months pregnant I uncomfortably sat through a Knicks game on a Christmas trip to NYC.  We were both really excited to have Mackenzie with us this time.  

Even though she completely missed nap #2, she loved it.  She high-fived anyone within an arms reach of her, including all of the people sitting around us.  She also danced and clapped along to all of the music.  There were a few moments of surprise and nervousness at the loud cheers, but she quickly got use to it -- and no tears!  She's all ready for an Indian's game this Spring.
