More Philly

September 8, 2022

Saturday afternoon we continued our historical tour with Independence Hall…

Everyone was really excited. πŸ˜‰

Especially Robert!

Just as the tour was starting, Samantha caught the edge of a sign with her head. She started crying but I was trying to tell her she was going to be fine…until I saw the blood. Oh yes, lots of blood!

Thankfully it was just a tiny cut on her head and, after a popsicle and an ice pack, she was doing just fine!

A light pink tint to her hair but much better!

We then headed over to the Museum of the American Revolution with some new treasures from the gift shop!

Best picture ever!

The Museum was really neat…and really long! I think Robert could have stayed in there all day.

That night we went to dinner at Ralph’s, the oldest Italian restaurant in the US! It was delicious and a good end to a good day!

Philly

September 7, 2022

We took a little adventure over the long weekend to the city of brotherly love and we sure did have a fun time! We flew up Saturday morning and met up with GJ and Keath and fam to take in the sights and see some history! First stop? The Liberty Bell!

One thing Philly has is tons of art! Lots and lots of public art on display and it’s all pretty cool! Samantha particularly enjoyed it all!

We made our way to the famous LOVE park…where the LOVE sign was much smaller than I imagined!

Swim Team

September 6, 2022

This summer all three kids did swim team again! I’m so proud of their dedication and how hard they work – and it shows in their results! Maxwell missed the first part of the season because of camp but he was still able to get 4 meets in. All three won lots and lots of ribbons – heat ribbons and place ribbons!

Celebrating!

September 1, 2022

We had quite the celebration for Maxwell on Tuesday! It started with his traditional birthday breakfast…

12

12! Too bad he didn’t eat a single one and opted for his protein shake instead. ha! Oh well. I was happy to make them for him like he requested.

He got to open one present before school and got this FlipStik – a Shark Tank product! It was pretty cool!

He then went to school and tried to show it to his friend by sticking it on a metal street sign and couldn’t get it off and it broke. Oh well. Don’t worry, I had another one for him by the time school got out! Football ended up getting cancelled because of the weather but that worked out because then we all got to eat dinner together – Shake Shack and Baby Bites! Excellent dinner choice by the birthday boy!

He then had Boy Scouts so we opened presents after…

I have to admit these LED lights look really cool! I sure to love celebrating my favorite 12 year old!!
