December 9th-Our Last Day

We waited until 10:00 am for the Carousel to open and had our own private ride. That thing went about 90mph-I thought for sure the kids would be sick but they did fine!


Natural rock formations jutted out all over the park- they were very beautiful. Carson and I climbed all over them while Grandma and Hannah watched. Hannah wanted to be up there with us.
Hannah loving the swing.






We started with an early start on our last day to try and finish all we didn't get to see but still wanted too (and to finish shopping!) We woke early to say goodbye to Cam-thinking that we wouldn't see him before we left to fly home then we hopped on the subway to Central Park.








We were so early that Central park was pretty much a ghost town. We had fun walking around the park though and letting the kids play on the playground. Hannah loved the swing and giggled and laughed. I loved being able to let Hannah run free after basically being strapped in the stroller and unable to move because of all the coats and blankets!








The park was very pretty and a little Haven from the skyscrapers and the busy city. I talked to one mom there and she said that if we were there one hour later the park would be full of kids and their Nannies-not any mothers just the Nannies. That was a sobering thought. Who would rather have a Nanny raise their kids-over themselves? I guess that's the way they do it in NY but it is definitely not the way I would ever want to.
