Oh no, sods law that someone would be poorly on holiday. I would love to see New York one day. Love those Lego men, I really do need to try these with my mould. Magnolia is glorious, love their flowers #366
Exactly, thankfully it was only 24h and it wasn’t the day we had to do the four hour drive back…!!
Wow, just been talking to a friend about New York! I love it there and will go back one day! Great photo’s Sara. Hopefully the 9 yr old is fully recovered now! What a holiday to have :)
It’s such a fabulous city, I love it! The kids did too, which was brilliant!
Shame the 9yo was ill. That’s typical. NY is spectacular. A lovely mix of photos this week.
It is typical, isn’t it!! I love NY, and I’m so glad that the kids did too. Thank you x
Those Lego chocolate men would go down a storm here with boys big and small! And New York looks so amazing, I reeeeeally want to go one day. We lost our minds a bit at Easter and thought we could do it with a 5 year old and baby. Luckily we found our marbles again quickly and opted for a short haul flight :D
Oh, you have to go some day – and our kids loved it too, so it’s a brilliant place to visit :)
i would love to visit New York. well i would love to visit lots of America to be honest. Such a shame that your eldest was ill – i hope he is feeling much better now. the lego chocolates look awesome!!!! x
He is much better, thank you. 24h thing, whatever it was! New York is pretty amazing!
Some beautiful shots. New York must have been exciting.
New York was wonderful!
Fabulous photos of New York! It’s amazing that you can drive there. Sorry to hear your biggest boy was poorly while you were away.
Love your little Lego men chocolates!
That Jane Green book is called Life Swap over here. I read it years ago.
New York was amazing, and it is great being able to drive there. I really like Jane Green’s books, not sure how I’d missed reading this one!
Did you say Lego men chocolates?! We need some too, how do we make them? The magnolia and hyacinths look beautiful. And the embracing trio is just lovely. What a bummer to get sick on a holiday. When we lived in New Haven, CT, we used to visit New York quite often at the weekends. Then 9/11 happened, and I haven’t been back since.
The Lego men chocs were made using a silicon mold that we got in the Lego shop (I think!). I visited NY for the first time a couple of years ago, the 9/11 memorial is very powerful x
Wow it looks like you all had a great trip to the big apple! I would love to go one day. The Lego chocolates look fantastic and the magnolia is beautiful. Hope you have a good week x #project366
New York was amazing :)
Hope you had an amazing time in NYC, i love the lego chocolates, did you make them with a mould?
We had a wonderful time, thank you. Yes, I used a silicon mould for the chocolates :)
Those Lego men chocolates are awesome!
It looks like you had a great time in New York! Fab photos!
Thank you! We had a fabulous time in NYC x
what a shame at one of them taking ill on holiday, but glad you both managed to get up to see the views regardless.
The crafting looks like fun, and how amazing to get them to concentrate for an hour.
Yes, I was surprised that the three of them played with it for so long, but they kept taking turns and did loads of painting!
How exciting, a visit to NY. I’m so envious..
The magnolia looks glorious.
NY is fabulous, love it :) And, I love my magnolia too!
