New York, New York

Last time I wrote I was on my

way to New York City!

Well, I had a blast

while I was there.

The weather was nice

and cool and we had a

great day of sight seeing

after our red-eye flight!

Here are some photos from

my weekend in New York:

We started with a train ride

into the city

 First stop: Macy's, just to kill time
before going to the Empire State
Building.  This Macy's is HUGE!
7 Stories!!!

 Toni, Andrea, and me just
goofing around

 2nd stop: Empire
State Building: We were
able to go to the 86th
Floor and 102nd Floor
and we went past every
line thanks to Marlon who
has worked PR for Jennie
Finch before!

 The view was beautiful.
I have been up 2 other times
at night so it was fun to see the
city in the daytime.

 Me, Toni, Andrea, Jennie's
parents

 This is really high up!

 Toni, Dre and I decided to jump
on the subway and visit a couple
other spots.

 First stop, Central Park.  It is huge
so we just decided to walk around
a small part- it was very pretty.

 We waited to go to our next stop:

 Near Ground Zero

 We weren't able to get tickets
to Ground Zero
because when we checked a
month before going, they were
already sold out for that day, so
we just walked around the area.
We went into St. Paul's Chapel:
the church right next to Ground
Zero that was unharmed in the
attack and it was also a place
where firefighters slept, ate,
and rested during the aftermath
of the 9/11 attacks.

 There are still so many memorial
momentos inside the church. 

 We also visited a small memorial
museum nearby.

 After walking around all day, we
were beat!  We took the train back
and I went to bed very early that
night!  But not before we grabbed
some pizza and ice cream!  That
is a must when you are in New
York City!

Saturday and Sunday was

camp time.  Here is a picture

of Marlon- not only did he hook

us up at the Empire State Building,

he brought us 12 AMAZING

cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop!

 We had about 300 campers and
it was a great weekend
 teaching the sport I love
with people I love to be around!

 Sunday morning we had a great
turn out for our Bible Study!
God is so good.  I love being
able to share God's Word on the
softball field and encourage these
young girls and their families to
shine for the Lord. Jennie is such
a great example to all these young
girls and I am thankful for her
friendship and her values.  She is
a hero to so many people and
God is using her in big ways.  I
am grateful to work at her camps.

 I taught hitting this camp,
and the girls worked hard
on what they learned.

 And once again, we cannot thank
the college teams that help out and
make these camps run the way they
do.  Adelphi College helped out for
the 2nd year in a row and they
were great.

 At the end of camp we always leave
them with a few words that sum up
the weekend- I always remind them
that there is a plan for their lives and
God loves them!

 And that's a wrap!
