Here we are in NY City!
New York City!
(This is as close as I ever wish to get to it:)

Bound for the Statue of Liberty!
Walking....
walking....
We got on the Ferry
They were quite amazed :)
Ellis Island
More of Ellis Island.....
and more of Ellis Island
Wow, y'all! This is fun!
Neat, huh?
Us:)
(There I go again, stating the obvious--I'm bad about that :)
The guy we asked to take this picture insisted on laying on the ground in order to get all of the Statue in the picture.

"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom."
John Adams
"...and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof...."
Leviticus 25:10
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
II Corinthians 3:17
This was our attempt at getting a picture in front of the Statue of Liberty, since no one in our party was willing to lay on the ground--especially since there would have been a great risk of being squashed under the feet of the ten zillion people that were there at the time.
Cute little boys
Well, that was fun!
Y'all ready to get back on the road???
(I think CJ must be lacking minerals or something, since he finds it necessary to chew on his shoestring while I try to take his picture)
Ick! I don't have any desire to ever see this sign again!
Interesting. Probably something we won't see again, very soon at least.
A reminder that God always keeps his promises!
Well, I don't want to bore my readers to tears, so here I will stop. (Feel free to stop, take a deep breath, and say, "Phew!")

So, I'm guessing you won't be moving to NYC anytime soon, is that right, Mary? :) I am so glad y'all got to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Also, you must admit NYC can be quite impressive, although I don't want to live there, either. And seeing it from the railroad tracks can be . . . ummm . . . interesting, to say the least!
Thanks for your usual "Maryesque" perspective and lovely pictures!
Grandmother,
who would not be getting
on the ground to take a
picture, either!!
These photos are anything but boring! I am looking forward to "part 4"!

Nice pictures! I have to say it was a pretty neat picture of New York, not that I would want to live there either but I have always wanted to go and visit. I've never been, but thanks for sharing.

So, Mary, tell us how you feel about New York City!
I think the "lying on the ground" picture actually turned out quite well. It has an interesting perspective.
In my few memories of it, New York had its own (urine scented) charm.
I'm not anxious to go back any time soon, either!
Love,
Aunt Katie
Thank you for your comment on my blog. I remember seeing your little boys at the conference. They are adorable and their outfits are beautifully done. Congratulations, girls! I was the only one of my family to go with Daddy to the conference so I had only my own costume to make. I can't imagine being ambitious enough to make costumes for all of my siblings. :-)
May the Lord richly bless your family.
In Christ,
Charae
I can see it now, a New York Times best seller, "New York City" through the eyes of Mary Stricklen...
It's a thrilling place to visit and we thank you for posting so many pictures so we could feel like we were there too! We weren't bored at all! Looks like you all weren't either :)
Love,
Aunt Beth
--who likes your "new look" on the blog!
