Summer time, and the living is easy...NYC style.

One of the great things about going to New York is staying with my sister Kathryn and her wonderful family. Literally, Kathryn is an amazing hostess and she makes my life so easy when I come and visit! I love being able to chill but do some fun things in the city as well. It's also fun to see the kids and how much they have grown. I always look forward to our dance parties! Raise the roof. Woot.

First stop: El templo. Such a unique temple and I have a special spot for it since I volunteered in the temple before it was dedicated...8 years ago. Wow, I'm gettin' old!

I also love spending time with these kiddos...the water games were a hit! Thomas love his little floatie that I pretended to blow up for him every minute or so...cuteness!

We also got to celebrate Josh's entrance into teenage-hood by going bowling. Sam and Matthew especially loved it and got into it.

Just had to add a dorky picture in there...in case you forgot my weirdness...

One of the highlights was a bike ride through Central Park with Kath. This is a MUST! The weather was gorgeous and the company was so fun. It felt good to exercise and bask in the New York scenery.

Love seeing Kath! Thanks again for the bike ride!

Oh and we walked by a movie set right by Central Park...some 70s action film coming out early next year. Watch for it!
