The 12-16 the Makechnie's were in New york! We all saw amazing sights and learned some cool things. Ellis Island was really cool. We learned about how hard it was to come from a different country to as they called, 'The Gate to America.' Many were put in hospitals and detained if they showed any sign of sickness. Imagine how hard it would be if you were not allowed in. Well if you had not learned well, and had not passed the test, you were not allowed in. We saw an exhibit showing men who tried to draw diamonds. Some had never held a pencil, some had never gone to school, and some had not much but some schooling. It was really sad for us to thing about having to come to a different country for freedom, religion but be rejected. Not only did we like Ellis Island but Central Park was wonderful too! We loved the children park that they had. Huge rocks were heaven for Chloe! The park was awesome the structure. Grace even liked it! The zoo was sweet too. The petting zoo was very cute. We saw bunnies, geese, goats and other animals. The same landscaper the designed Shelburn designed Central Park. The park also had a merry go round in which Ella Chloe and I got to ride. We all agreed that is was the fastest Merry go Round that we had every went on! When walking around in the city, Ella saw Hello Kitty and we got a picture of them together! We came at the right time because all the decorations were out! Anyways, we had a blast in NYC!
