Summer Trip, Stop #4: New York

We packed a lot in to our short visit to NY!

1st on the to-do list:  play with the new table and chairs set that Grandpa made for the girls' dolls!
Lydia and Madeline had fun setting up their dolls on the sun porch with pretend plates (coasters) and food (Cheerios).
Kit poses for a picture with the new table.




The girls are looking down their noses at their subjects


In the museum's history room, Lydia tells Grandma all about Felicity, an American Girl.


Carousel inside the museum


Reading Adventureland inside the museum


Sweet girls on the pier at Charlotte, after a sweet treat from Abbott's Frozen Custard. 
Mmmm... Abbott's.  Almost as delicious as Goodberry's.


After the pier, the girls had another ride on a carousel - this time at the beach! 
Pictures of them actually on the carousel were a little too blurry to post.

We spent hours at the zoo.  One of the best parts was watching the sea lions get fed.



As far as the girls were concerned, this little chipmunk was one of the highlights of the visit!  
The girls got to feed 'Chip' some peanuts every morning.
