Phinally!!!

Wow. It took 25 years but I finally got to see my first parade. It was stressful and interesting at the same time! Oh yeah, Pam and Natalie went as well! :) Here are some of the pictures and video!

We waited in line for nearly 45 minutes just to buy tickets at Woodcrest Station into the city. Words cannot describe how lucky we were getting a parking spot. The parking lot was completely packed with people driving around looking for spots. Lucky for us, someone was pulling out when we got there. At one point someone was arrested for trying to hold a parking spot by standing in it. It got reallly ugly!

Here is a picture of the line we had to wait in.



This is the huge line that was behind us.



Packed in the train like sardines.





We arrived at the parade about ninety minutes before the parade started and we decided to setup shop at Broad and Locust Street.



The crowd was racous and even cheered for trucks driving down the parade route for the sole purpose of cheap advertising.

Alexandra's First Birthday

Zach's cousin, Alex, had her first birthday on October 11th. It was so much fun and there was so much to do! We hope she had a great day! We sure did!

Alex isn't too sure about the hat.



We were hoping she'd dig into the cake, but she was a little lady.



They had a bouncer for the older kids but the younger children got to enjoy it with their moms. It took awhile for Zach to like it.

I love my little man

Taking a big bite...


So darn mischevious...but so darn cute!


If he could talk, he'd say "Another picture????"

Fun with his buddy

A few weeks ago, Zach and I got to play with some friends who we don't get to see too often. Thanks to Adrienne for bringing Lincoln and Clara to meet us at the Children's Discovery Museum. It was so much fun watching the boys play together and meeting Clara. Here are a few pictures of the good time.



Future broadcasters?



A little fun chasing each other...



Here's Clara- such a sweetie!



Zach and I are going to see them in a couple weeks! It will be his first flight...wish us luck! :-)

Go Phillies!

We have been sporting the Phillies gear a lot this post season. Go Phils!
