Symbols of Freedom

Nathan learned about the Symbols of Freedom in his Pre-K class.  Two of them were the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell.  He asked us to visit these national landmarks, so we did.

Nathan asked us if there were whales in the river while we were on the ferry.

We love soft pretzels...anytime...anywhere.

My kiddos and the NYC skyline.

I wish they were always this sweet with each other.

Nathan is quite the photographer.  He loves playing with the camera and taking pictures of Mom and Dad.

Hadley was trying to match Lady Liberty.

Who can pass up these souvenirs?

The ferry back to NJ.

The ferry back to NY.  We made the right choice.

And then came our trip into Philadelphia for the Liberty Bell.  This also coincided with Father's Day.

The inkstand used to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Happy Father's Day Randy!  Too bad your other kids were napping.

I told you Nathan is a great photographer.
