Peters Family at de Paula's Pad
A highlight of their first day here was a horse-drawn carriage ride through part of Central Park's 843 acres. It was reminiscent of a past age when carriages were used along the busy streets of New York.
We loved the rhythmic beating of the horse’s hoofs on the black pavement.
Our daughter, Angela and granddaughter Marley Kate 10, kept warm on this very chilly spring day cuddled together and bundled up in a huge red velour blanket supplied by our helpful (and expensive) carriage driver. Depending on who you talk to, the 20-minute ride was well worth $40 (X 2 carriages).
Talk to the girls.
Talk to the girls.
Far more important than sightseeing - to our grandsons Quinn 12, and Landon 16 - is shooting a basketball. If you can even imagine, Quinn brought the ball with him all the way from Layton, Utah. We parked our van at the Rego Park Church in Queens to catch the subway into Manhattan, but these two teenagers must have thought that the basketball court was our goal for the day. Boys.

OK - your blog is making mine look anemic. Stop posting cool photos until I can get caught up with you! (I'm still waiting to hear your reaction to the Plig Fashion Show.)
How fun! I'm glad to see that Angela and her (grown-up-too-fast) kids visited you.
We sure had fun with you at Friendlies and Sam's Club last week. Thanks for the tour of quaint Bay Shore, and it was fun to see your pad. Now we can picture where you are! It looks like your daughter and grandchildren arrived. What a darling family. Glad you had a wonderful weekend and made some memories. We are happy we are back to teaching our classes and hope you are too! We know the scriptures are true.
