Let me warn you now...this is going to be a LONG post with lots of pictures! My parents were able to come out for 10 days and visit. They got here on Thursday and Josh went and picked them up from the airport on Friday. Saturday morning we headed to Palmyra New York. We did a temple session, went to the sacred grove, and saw the Hill Cumorah Pageant! It was awesome. Every time I go there I love it even more and it strengthens my testimony.
Sunday we just went to church, but the ward we went to was an English, Spanish, and Deaf ward. So we had pe
ople signing in the front and translators in the back, and we had two confirmations done
in Spanish that day. It was the most diverse ward I have ever been to but it was awesome. After church we headed to Niagara
Falls! We saw the falls and walked around the park there and saw all the neat things.
Monday we woke up
and went to do
our Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour on the Niagara River. This was the coolest thing ever! We were in this Jet Boat and got SOAKED on the rapids. Click here and watch the video of the boats. It was awesome. If you go to Niagara Falls you HAVE to do it!!
Tuesday we spent most of the day in Lewisburg and went to the famous Freez and Mya's Cafe. That afternoon we headed out to NYC! Our hotel was awesome. We stayed at the Marriott at Times Square. You can see the view from our room. We were right on Times Square and it was so cool.
Wednesday was Josh's birthday and the boys went to the Yankees game and my Mom and I went to Wicked. It was my second time seeing Wicked and I LOVE it so much! It is so awesome. I got the soundtrack and I have been blasting it ever since! We went to dinner for his birthday and walked around NYC. Thursday we went on a double decker bus and saw all the sights. We got off at the Statue of Liberty. My mom bought a knock off purse and it was quite an experience. She
said she felt like she did something wrong because the guy that was selling it looked around and pulled his sheet full of purses into a corner and sold us a purse. Ha ha we had a great time in NYC and saw some awesome sights!
On Fr
iday we headed to RB Winter Park and had a picnic. It is so pretty there! We had such a good trip and I am so glad my parents were able to come out and we had such a good time. I can't wait to move home soon and be around our families.
We did have so much fun! Thanks again!!! And I can't wait for you to move home either :) LoVe YoU!!!

We did see your grandparents though! we'll be out there in a month so lets plan lunch! (i'll need to hang with people that speak english for at least a meal :) Mike forgets i'm there sometimes and doesn't translate... haha
