Space Train

We had been talking about going on the Roosevelt Island tram since we moved to New York and finally went.  It helped that Chase LOVES trains, airplanes, and all things that go.  Once he saw it and called it a "Space Train," we had to go ourselves.  

Chase was really excited about the Space Train as we took the bus to the tram.

We weren't expecting Chase to be nervous on the tram, but Chase kept saying "I scared" and insisted on sitting on Marcus' lap.

Marcus enjoyed taking pictures out the window:

Ty and I also made the trip

Getting closer to Roosevelt Island and getting a little less scared

Chase and Marcus enjoyed watching the next tram leave:

Aren't they cute?!

We walked over to a nearby park so Chase could play.  It was such a beautiful area right on the river with tons of trees and grass.  Who knew, grass and greenery in NYC?! :)

Ty also enjoyed some sun

Chase is always drawn to the water

And water balloons.  He LOVES water balloons.

There were a few guys playing basketball, and Chase enjoyed watching them play.
They weren't very good :)  Every time they'd miss, Chase would yell out, "Oops, he missed!"

Then we headed back to the tram by way of a baseball game and port-a-potties.

I'm pretty confident Chase is officially potty trained.  If you can go in a port-a-potty, you can do anything!

And we were headed back to Manhattan on the tram:

After a delicious Tres Carnes lunch, we were back on the bus home.  I think Marcus finally had a positive bus experience.  He usually protests taking the bus the entire time.

First big family outing = Success.
