So the Hills have finally hit up the BIG APPLE....that's right folks the Hills rocked NYC this last August and we had a blast! Our cousins Jeff and Nicole and Aunt Rischia flew in from Calgary to join in the fun total-ing us up at 14. You can probably imagine what its like trying to get 14 people on the subways......Ya lets not go there! Lets just put it this way, when you have that many people in NY you try to do things in the cheapest way and figuring out what subway package is the most cost efficient kinda sucks....especially when EVERYBODY in our family pretty much sucks at MATH!
So I thought i would throw out a few NYC highlights!
1. Arriving in NYC and passing the NY JETs in the airport as they pointed at me and talked about my Angle shirt! They pretty much loved it! (other members of the family may tell this memory different but hey its my blog)
2. Mets game- Mom and Dad getting beer dumped on them from the bleachers above, they were soaked! YUP GREAT SEATS!
3. ERIN TRIPPING AND FALLING IN CENTRAL PARK!! CLASSIC ME
4. HAHA Tanner tripping and pretty much taking another man out! It was hilarious
5. The look on mom and dads face as I started pole dancing in the subway-AHHH the skills they never knew i had! YIKES!!!!
6.Getting up at 4:00am for the Celion Deon concert at the today show and what do you know she cancelled! But we did make it on TV
7. Danielle tyring to buy a purse on Canal street- the Asians pretty much hate her! She couldn't catch a break! And she never did get her wallet!
8.Topher falling off the chair in the Hotel Lobby
9. Sitting on the subway coming home from the METs game when low and behold i notice Kassie's shoes-Maryjane Flats with white thick bobby socks and jean capris! Kassie there is never an excuse for that kind of style!
10. Tanner and Joe turning their pants into MAN-CAPRI'S while walking through Central park with purses! That is so STRAIT!
11. Seeing Katie Holmes with Surrie walking into Little Mermaid!
So some other fun things we did......
We all saw Wicked one night and it was amazing. The next night we all split up and went to different plays, some went to South Pacific, Chicago and Jersey Boys! Everybody had fun at all of them but LOVED Wicked in the end!
Played at Seaport Village after seeing the Bodies Exhibit.
My number one goal for the trip was to find the Naked Cowboy in Times Square...sadly we never did find him but we did find the Naked Cowgirl (almost put this in the highlights section but I'm still trying to decide if i would call it that! (65, saggy, droopy, wrinkly and way too much makeup))
We went to TOP OF THE ROCK! The view is amazing... and its unreal to think how many people live in one city!

Ate at SERENDIPITY for Laurens birthday! YUMMY-est desserts EVER! Plus it was funny because dad hates Tiffany Lamps and they are everywhere in that restaurant! You could say he was in his personal Hell!
Shopping, Shopping and more Shopping! But what better place then NYC?
What better place to be a kid then F.A.O. SCHWARTZ? We tried out our skills on THE BIG PIANO! Ya after years of lessons and i can't play anything! And now I'm sure we all got a fungus from all the bare feet that step on that thing!
