NY Trip - Shrek

Two weekend's ago we finally made it to NY to see Shrek the musical for Alexis 12th birthday. We decided rather than have a party we would head up to NY for the day. Her birthday was back in March but we wanted to go when the weather was a little warmer.



Since my mom bailed out on us last minute, Alexis got to bring a friend of her choice. I was so so so glad when she chose to bring Amy along! Love this girl!

We took a bus trip up with Grandma Smith, one of her fiends and Ed's cousin Janice. I didn't get a ton of pictures because unfortunately our camera is STILL broken and I hate the old one.

The girls were thrilled about this sign and joked that Alexis's friend Amy owned it. They just had to run in and buy something!

We got there at about 9am so we had a ton of time before the show started at 2. Luckily about 2 blocks from where we got dropped off there was a huge huge food festival. Tons of food and little craft tables set up. The girls wanted to head to Times Square, but we spent so much time at the food festival that we didn't get time.

When we bought the tickets for Shrek I really didn't think I was going to like it all that much, but to my surprise it was hilarious! We were all cracking up at the guy who played the donkey! To to funny!

After the show we went for dinner at a place called the Stardust dinner. It's a little place where all of the servers dress in 50's clothing and sing. Our waiter was telling us that everyone that works there is trying to make it broad way and just doing this until they get their big break! It was cute, but my old crappy camera would not get any shots in the restaurant..they were all way to dark.

We had such a fun day!
