We stopped in New Jersey to take the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. It was a Saturday so it was probably even more crowded than usual. It was hot and there were lots of people. I did feel like a part of the tired, poor and huddled masses. It was just way too hot and crowded for my liking, but we still had a good time and it was fun to see the statue in person. Here we are before boarding the ferry, checking out the NYC skyline.
We briefly disembarked on Ellis Island and looked in the museum of immigration there.
We got back on the ferry to head to the statue of Liberty
Ellis Island from the boat.
Scott took the older three up to the upper deck of the boat to see better
NYC skyline again
And a view of Lady Liberty

We got off at Liberty Island so we could see the statue up close
There were lots of people there
Matthew REALLY wanted to look out of these binocular things. They all cost 50 cents, but he was convinced that one of the ones he had looked through was working. It may have been working but he didn't tell me that until later, after I had made him move on to somewhere else. Then he grumbled the rest of the trip about anything and everything, but mostly about how I never listen to him. The more upset he got the higher the pitch of his voice got, and thus, the harder for me to hear when he was trying to talk to me. Especially since he would always look down at the ground or in the other direction while trying to address Scott or me. So Matthew was sort of feeling grumpy most of that trip. And I am trying to listen to him! I really am!
Here we are back on the boat back to New Jersey
Matthew managed a smile for the camera
At least Anna had fun.
