New York- Day 3


We got to go to Scranton Pennsylvania! (for those of you who are thinking, what the heck is so special about Scranton? It is where the show The Office is supposed to take place) Erik was especially excited about this. :)







Where the church was established.

On our way to the Joseph Smith home

Hill Cumorah

New York- Day 1 Niagara Falls/Canada

Down town Canada. HECK YEAH


Here's a story, Brooke and I decided to walk up to this statue and when we got up right next to it, it opened it's eyes and started talking. Seriously, I almost peed my pants it scared me so bad. So actually, I'm completely terrified in this picture.

The falls

New York baby.

This summer was awesome. In June my family got to go to New York and Washington D.C with the Spencer's, It was AMAZING. We got to do all kinds of things such as, going to the Statue of Liberty, hanging out in Times Square,(hehe) seeing the play Wicked, (which P.S. has basically been my dream for ever to go to NEW YORK with Brooke and see the play Wicked) going to the sacred grove, having a tour of the Joseph Smith home etc. In Washington D.C we got to go to the White House, (we got a tour of both the east and west wings) I got to see the President....Nobody else in the family did. :) mmmhmm. That's right. I saw the President get on his helicopter, and fly away. Jealous much? ;) We also got to go to all the memorials like the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson, WW1, WW2, Vietnam... We saw the changing of the guards at Arlington Cemetery, (that was awesome) We went to Six Flags, (also awesome) toured the Supreme court building, toured the Capital, (one of my favorite parts of the trip) OH and I almost forgot. We go to go to Canada on the first day, and see Niagara Falls at night. AWESOME. There were different colored lights that would shine on the falls after dark. It was really beautiful. Then the next day we got to ride the Maid of the Mist boat and see the falls again. Anyway, the trip was really REALLY fun and amazing. Defiantly something I would recommend doing. :D
