Me belatedly trying to take a picture of ground zero with myself in it:)

NYC from the departing ferry

Someone took my camera and got a picture of me, Tia and the back of Trisa

Things the pictures don't show:

Dan perking up when he found a dirty string on the ground to play with.  He carried it around, and swung it around, and accidentally hit people that I apologized to, and finally put it in my purse.  I thought he had forgotten about it but when we started walking around Boston he pulled it back out and it kept him entertained again.  It was a little gross, but it sure helped him be happier!  He has played with it here at home too.  Maybe I should wash it?

Me getting a tad panicked when I couldn't see Derek and the boys in the crowded Disney store on Times Square when I knew Derek didn't have his phone.  Thankfully they showed up again.  We had stopped there for a bit of a break.

Dan falling asleep on the Subway.

On the way to NJ on Friday Kayli and Trisa hitting one another over and over in the car (violent I know!) while yelling things like "Double A, Split 2, Out of State!"  They were, of course, playing a game.  If they couldn't find something that fit the rules Kayli would make something up and count it -- "BUS!"  I forgot to check for bruises later but their arms still seem to work okay.
