Carter and I made a trip to NYC in late May. We were partly celebrating his accomplishment of having earned 300 stars during first grade (stars are earned for doing homework, practicing piano, etc), partly to experience Newsies on Broadway (beloved by me from it's original release, and beloved by Carter since I introduced him to it) and partly just to have some fun the week after school let out. And since we were going to be in NYC, we added a second show for good measure, since Carter also loves Annie.
This is a bunch of photos. I couldn't cut it down any further!
