We have fast fallen in love with the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia is really a great place to live, we love how much there is to see and do here!
Josh (in his owl hat that I love) and David in front of City Hall. We love exploring the downtown area and have made regular family dates here on the weekends.
This beautiful building is the Please Touch Museum, a fabulous children's museum. I couldn't believe what a gorgeous building it is! We bought a membership here and have gotten our money's worth out of it already. Josh and I love spending our afternoons here!
We also love the public library. They have a great story time for babies and toddlers that Josh enjoys. This was a cool book we borrowed from the library, a counting book involving all things Philadelphian!
Our ward has a great weekly playgroup. The first week in October, the playgroup went to Bartram's Gardens for their "Little Explorers" class. The view of the city from the garden was neat.
The class was about apples. They had the kids gather some apples that they had scattered in the yard...
...these were then pressed into apple cider.
Josh couldn't drink the cider quick enough. He spilled quite a bit down his shirt. It was really delicious!
Another thing we love about the city is how biker friendly it is. David rides his bike to and from school most days, and Josh and I have done a lot of exploring via bike. One day, we rode to campus to visit Dave.
University of Pennsylvania is a beautiful campus.
College Hall houses the undergraduate admissions office. The exterior was the inspiration for the Addam's Family victorian gothic house!

Josh is getting big and is sooo cute! I just LOVE his white hair! It looks like you guys are having a great time there. It would be fun to live in such a biker friendly community.
