Coady girls take Manhattan

Last week, Shannon and Emma kicked off their summer vacation with a trip to the Big Apple. While I missed many of the highlights of their trip (Ellis Island, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, and the very famous M&M Store), I was able to join them at the top of the Empire State Building.

But the highlight for Owen was playing in the park and splashing around in the puddles with his cousins (or is it great cousins?):

We were sad to see them go, but Shannon said they'll definitely be back next year, especially since Mary promised her they could go to the Today Show... watch out Matt and Meredith!
