Time Square! The Height of Commercialism


Well-my husband doesn't want our son to even see a TV until he's two. Unfortunately that is impossible if you step foot onto 42 and 7th Ave! My friend Beth had never been so we headed out on a dreary day to find some fun.

That's right Time Square-8 square blocks of advertisement, neon lights, numerous celebrations (mainly New Year's Eve) tons of people, chain stores/restaurants, and what we visited today.....a four story Toys R Us!

That's right! Four stories of toys, fun, and lots of ways to spend your money! They even have a ferris wheel inside-and for $4 a person you too can ride it! We didn't ride today, but I do plan to go back for another trip. There were sections for everything! As you can see above, Emma and Owen both found fun things to pose beside!

Even though we didn't spend lots of money there were still fun things to do! Lots of characters all around, and fun sections of toys to play with!


This is the Lego section! The Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building are both made out of legos! And so is the Yankees hat behind me (sorry about the playoffs guys! I bought a green ball cap and everything!)
This is the Thomas the Train sections-let me tell you it's a little boys dream come true. I think it is roughly the size of our living room. :)







And then before making the train ride home, we stopped (in true NY fashion) at McDonalds to eat some lunch. It happened to be the cheapest option in Times Square. Not to mention it was two stories too. As you can see-Addison and Steven are hanging out in their high chairs eating. This is a new thing for Steven-fun eh?

I'll go ahead and say it...We miss NYC and fun excursions. What do you have planned for next week when we get back?
