It only took about 6 weeks, but Daddy finally is updating my blog!
Ahhhhh....back in New York City! This time with Grandma, Uncle Richie and Aunt Kati. We're going to have so many adventures!!
The night before Aunt Kati arrived, we decided to try out some cheesecake. Daddy wasn't expecting too much, but once he saw that someone managed to combine his beloved carrot cake with cheesecake, he was intrigued. When the waiter arrived with this little slice of the Celestial Kingdom, he totally zoned out. I'm not lying when I say I literally had seconds to take this picture before the carnage began. The poor dessert never stood a chance.
The next morning, while Uncle Richie was busy with his showcase, Grandma and I went up to the Museum of Natural History. I stood in awe of the power of this once majestic beast. If only I could have such a presence! Daddy saw the longing in my eyes and told me not to worry, 'One day, you'll have your day in the sun, Lil' G. No one will be able to ignore or dismiss you. You will grow to command respect, I promise.' With that, he stuffed me back into his pocket.
Daddy, don't be scurred!! I've tusseled with these guys before. They look big and threating but they're just big marshmellows. Daddy, focus! They're not really marshmellows...
Oh snap! I thought they were exaggerating about the rodents lurking in the darkness of the NY subways. Run Daddy, I'll cut this fool.
You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow!
YOU...SHALL NOT...PASS!
Finally Aunt Kati arrived, and along with her came...competition. Lo and behold, another small animal pops out of her purse. But this isn't just any other pocket-sized stuffed animal, it's Kermit-the freakn-Frog. How am I supposed to compete with a celebrity?? Here I am, just trying to enjoy a massive sundae with all manner of delicious fruits and treats, and once the camera comes out, Kermit just has to get in the shot. Seriously? What is it about Hollywood schmucks and their constant need for attention?? I'm so gonna cut this fool.
We get back to the hotel room and Kermit grabs the remote to turn on the TV. Muppets In Space marathon or some crap like that is probably on that he just can't miss....Turns out he flips over to ESPN to watch the Spurs post-game report.
The San Antonio Spurs have made friends out of adversaries. The miracles they work never cease to amaze me. Who would have thought I would find a brother in a large, green, amphibian?
Greatest...Picture...EVER.
Daddy and I love Central Park. He was such a trooper, walking all 51 blocks north to south. Everything was so beautiful! Just look at all this amazing appetizing foliage!
These are my peeps. I tried to get Daddy to buy me a big brother or sister, but he said they wouldn't fit in the carry-on compartment on the plane. I should have known he looks at giraffes simply as 'things' to stuff into things. I'm so disgusted with this right now.
I'll have to make sure to get this on the agenda at next year's convention for 'We May be Stuffed, But We Still Feel - Giraffe Chapter.'
Oh yeah, work it! You're a proud black Barbie doll, show me some of that attitude!
Not many people know this, but the best way to take down a Lego-Wookie is to go straight for the jugular.
I'm recognizing a trend here. Food..save Daddy from some foe...more food...another foe...more food...it's a vicious cycle.
One of the three shows we saw. I'm so tired of being in the audience. I
belong on that stage!!
Lady Liberty. I was a little worried that after she went on her little stroll through NYC in the 1989 film, Ghostbusters II, that she would take her new found freedom and go on a country-wide tour/rampage. However, I believe she understands liberty implies a sense of responsibility and as such returned to her pedestal.
Ellis Island, where millions of would-be Americans came into this country. Daddy went off on a tangent of how we have lost touch with the spirit of legal immigration, blah blah blah...oh my, this shrub is delectable!
We made a little detour to see the Houston LDS Temple. Daddy was like 'Wow, I don't remember the trees being this big from when I was here to take out my endowment.' Ummm...Daddy, that was like nine years ago. PS, you're old.
Yay! here we are. 
Lil G here and ready to serve!!
Holy Geoffry the Giraffe, look at all these peanuts!! Daddy made some comment about how he would like to swimming in a pool full of roasted peanuts or something. I don't know for sure, I was too disturbed to pay attention.
Another dozen jars of peanut butter ready to go. I got in trouble for riding down this amazing contraption, but it was just too fun to resist. 
" Hey! Get Back to WORK!" 
Last of the five pallets we did. 4,000 jars of peanut butter ready to go!
While Daddy was working in the cannery, I decided to go next door. I tried to find a wife for Daddy, but apparently they don't help in that area...Oh well, the trip was still a success!!
