Magic Show and Splash Parks

So we've been trying to get out and enjoy all of the fun things here in the city. We are here in Manhattan with about 5 or so families from BYU's MBA program. It's a lot of fun to have company and friends to enjoy all the fun things in this city with.

Bryant Park(which is right by Jeremy's building) has fun things every Saturday. We went to a little magic show with Rachel and her 3 kids. Both of our husbands are at Bank of America doing Investment Banking internships so its been nice to commiserate together at how we never see our husbands...so instead we do fun stuff together. :) It wasn't anything too spectacular, but the boys liked it, especially when the woman caught a rainbow and the rainbow turned into colorful starbursts for all of the kids. Trying to get Ty-Ty to smile at the magic show, and this is what I got. Too funny....I love this kid.

We've been doing some serious splash parking....its so stinking hot here that we just hop from splash park to splash park. There are so many in this city that we could go to a different one every day and never hit them all.
At the splash park at the Museum of Natural History. So much fun. It's just plain fountains on cement tile, but the kids have a blast. It is very slightly slanted so all the water runs down and the kids can play in the little river below. There is a dinosaur splash park in Riverside Park that was sooo great. Fun little dinosaur statues, 3 or four playground areas, a sandbox and huge water area. Here is Jackson and Ty with "big Tyler" as Jackson calls him.Mack, big Tyler, Ty, and Jackson in the back just playing and having a ball. Mac and Tyler are some of my boys best friends here. Luckily my boys can continue the friendship as they'll go back to Provo with us once the internships are over.Ty splashing in the puddles. He doesn't really like the spray part so just splashes in puddles where he is safe.Jackson and Tyler Andersen have such a blast together. They are so much alike.....crazy, and hyper! I'm so glad I have Amber here to understand what its like to have two crazy boys. :)Isn't he the cutest? I have to apologize for Ty's hat. Sorry fellow BYU friends.....I'm a BYUer, but the hubby is still a Ute even though he goes to BYU. :( Don't worry our boys will have hats and t-shirts to both schools. The nice thing with Jeremy going to BYU, he now admits there are normal people there and that it is a GREAT school :)
