Boat Ride to The Statue of Liberty

Funny pic series…on a stormy rainy windy day

This girl wanted to be in our picture really bad…at first we did not notice

Then my mom noticed

Then I notice and said what are you doing in our picture?

Then my mom took action…please move…no farther

The boat was a 3 decker boat and we were the only english speaking people (besides that girl) everyone else was Chinese so the tour guide mainly spoke to us for the hour. He took all these pictures of us.

The man’s idea

The tour guide liked us so much he invited me to be a junior captain (he thought I was 15!!! haha)

I got a pin that said New York Water Taxi Junior Captain…yay! lol
