Philadelphia, PA

Giacomo starts the day out with some music, some dancing and a bath.
He likes the Grateful Dead.

A nice looking family.

Joshua and Zachary have fun going from point A (Rita's apt) to point B (a playground on Pine at 26th St).

Zachary tries out another brownstone stairway.

Joshua makes sure his brand new hiking boots have traction.

Both show great balance.

One last one for good measure.

Harry and Wayne.

Joshua and I aren't sure that we like yellow and purple on a red brick brownstone, but it sure stands out.

This building looked like a castle.

I just like this photo.

And a close-up of this modern building.

Good friends: Michael and Wayne
Actually how Jill met Michael

Harry

Joshua and Aunt Bonnie

Joshua is ready for his photo shoot. He proceeds to let me know just where he wants me to stand and how he wants the camera.

Looking very cute upside down.

And right side up.

Two brothers.

Three generations: Rita, Wayne, Harry.

He is now finished with the jungle gym and decides to try out one natures own.

Zachary joins him.

Outdoor activities are finished. We head back to Aunt Rita's to meet up with The Hammers.

I think that this is one of my favorite photos of Zachary.

The view from Rita's apartment.

Good news travels fast.

Liz, Carol, Polly, Rita and myself go to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Art Museum.

The rest went to try out the new carousel at Franklin Square.
We all meet up at the Gelato place.

Two flavors with two spoons.

Zachary

Talia enjoys hers.

Mmmm good.

Kayla with chocolate lips.

A big squeeze from Grandma Polly.

And another for Kayla.

Cousins: Alex and Talia having an ice cream dance.

Philip rests.

All the cousins together for a DVD and some dinner.

Mom and a large spotted cat.

The kids are having a movie night and the grown-ups are relaxed.

It's fun to get dressed up.

Wayne and Nancy.

We had fun trying the tasting menu at the Striped Bass.
Many thanks to Michael and Todd for a delicious and fun evening out.
