Robinson Ladies

A few weeks ago the Robinson women got together for some extreme girl fun- Little Paige is only three so she didn't attend that frilly fest but next time;) Kate and Donia flew in from MN and Sue flew in from NC. We had lots planned and didn't get to squeeze it all in but these ladies did a fantastic job- venturing on the subway alone and then walking their socks of in our crazy city. NY really is such a fun city for kids and I am really glad that they made the trek.

We ate at some fun places (Mesa Grill, Alice's Tea Cup), got dessert in a few others (Chelsea Market, Mister Softie), and of course saw some sites. Kate just turned 9 so when I say sites I mean- Fao Shwartz, American Girls store, Dylan's candy bar but to be honest these are all fantastic stops for adults too! Ok to be honest if you don't have a daughter you prob's won't enjoy American Girls but all the other stops I promise! We spent the morning walking around the Statue of Liberty and trekking around Eilis Island. We also ate the biggest bagels Kate has ever seen;) Had a little birthday for Kate and Donia and the highlight, a treat from Sue, was going to see The Lion King- think we were all pretty excited about it and it was terrific- Gabe got to come along for that too!

We ate some good meals at home too and spent the evenings playing games and catching up. It was quite the full house and Dakota sure loved all the attention. Here are some pictures of our lovely weekend!
