Going to Work with Dad Day

Brett decided to take the kids to work with him and the "Big Apple" was their destination. As you can see Brett's office is quite boring but the kids loved sitting in the cockpit. I personally loved the instruction manual sitting in the window. UMM which airline does he fly for?

The Yankee tickets were purchased before they left Vegas and they were off. This was a highlight due to this being the last season in this stadium. Of course they were in the rowdy section, where you either joined in with the crowd or you were ridiculed. The crowd chants every Yankee players name on the field and they keep chanting their name until they wave to the crowd and then they move onto the next player. The kids loved it. Of course security took over and told everyone to keep quiet, and then the leader of the pep squad was yelling about how his first amendment rights are being violated. You have to love New Yorkers!!

Now only my family will get this joke but when you have only have 12 hours in a city and you throw a Yankee game in, you are running. We like to call it the Glenn Olson-Vard Swain tour. You don't actually get to experience each location its just a quick look and then move on. This is Central Park. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a picture is taken to document that they were there, so when they get older and say they didn't go anywhere when they were kids, there is proof.

On the Swain-Olson tour this is as close as you get to the Statue of Liberty. If you squint really hard you can see her in the distance.

Brett's favorite place, Wall Street.

The kids were a little apprehensive about the Subway. It just looks so much cleaner on Seinfeld, but they did manage to get on and get around the city. Of course in true Trevor fashion, he yells for them to not touch anything.

Grand Central Station.

Times Square. All Avery could picture was Giselle from "Enchanted" coming up from one of the drains.

This is Avery in the cockpit of the Airbus, and if you notice how happy she is to be heading home. If you notice only one child on this flight, yes the joys of stand by, the boys were left behind. As Brett pulled out T.J. and Trevor waved from the airport, Brett said it was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. But 12 hours later we picked them up at the Vegas airport and heard about their wild adventure at JFK for a day. I think Brett has fulfilled the "take your child to work day" commitment.
