The Island of Manhattan

Look very closely and you will see the Statue of Liberty in the background!

The church is located right across from Ground Zero.  This is where many of the responders came to get something to eat, get some needed rest or assistance.

Ground Zero - lots of construction going on now.

Kai loved the ferry ride we took part way around the island of Manhattan - here she looks at the Statue of Liberty.

Look closely and you can see both the Chrysler building and the Empire State Building in the back.

Kai loved this water spout area.  In the background is the Aircraft carrier Intrepid.

Our trip back east

On our drive to Syracuse, NY from Pittsburg, PA we found this little town of McKean, PA.

This cabin is on the original location of the Smith home.  

Kai loves her slides - she found this at the pumpkin patch farm.

Kai thought the "cow train" was lots of fun!

This is an even bigger slide Kai must have gone down at least 15 times.

After lunch we had a wagon ride around the farm

We begin our Theler Family Cruise.

We started off our family trip with breakfast at IHOP near the port. The best thing was that our nephew and cousin Derek Theler was able to join us.



Jared gives Kai a lift as we start to board the ship.



Joel and Lexi going up the ramp to get on board the "Mariner of the Sea," our family home for the week.
