Parents come to visit

Our happening in May included a visit from T's parents, so fun! After they were here for a bit we met up with them again in D.C for K-Rae's graduation, good job Aunt K! We also had a couple of fun Saturdays in the city. One included a girls temple trip while the boys babysat and some fun time with friends afterwards. The other was to downtown to show the parents T's work and some south Manhattan sites. We really enjoy where we live, its the best of both worlds. We get to enjoy suburbia but have the magic of NYC at our fingertips. Our town has such a cute quaint feel and has a nice sense of community. With the warm weather lately our yard has turned into Bambi's meadow, the kids especially love the new little bunnies. Here are some highlights.

First Easter

Her first Easter was celebrated not long after her first food, yum! Our little A is now 5 months old.


We enjoyed a couple of hunts this year one with Gracie and playgroup friends (Letty got to be there too since she was on spring break) and another one so Dads could be around. It was an excuse to get together with some good friends.

Hunt #2 checking out the lootJamie and I, my friend and neighbor

Over spring break we took a little trip to Lancaster county and to Philadelphia. It was a great, low stress vacation. In Lancaster we rode on restored steam train and visited Strausburg train musum which the girls loved. That and the Amish buggy ride were their favorites, they were lucky enough to sit up front and help with the reins. We visited the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery which is the first commercial pretzel factory in America. Down the road from it was the Wilbur Chococlate factory which claim to have had their "Wilbur Bud" stollen from Hershey aka the "Hershey Kiss." I will say the bud was better. We hunted out some covered bridges and enjoyed the beautifully manicured Amish farms. The girls especially loved the pool at the hotel :) On the way home we stopped off in Philly and visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
