From Philly to TN

Ok, so you thought that I had left the Blog world. Well, I was beginning to wonder myself. We left for Philly to see Greg's family a week ago this past Friday. We left around 9:00pm and got there the next morning around 7:30. It usually takes us 10 hours but the kids woke up about 5:30 in the morning so we had to let them get out and stretch. We had a great time. Gram seemed to be doing good as well as everyone else. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The kids were a little apprehensive at first but as you will be able to see by the pics they both got use to it. I have a pic of Seth jumping in but both kids were doing it. I have so many pics I will never get them all posted. You may need some Tums to look at these pics with all of the good Philly food that we ate. Cheese steaks, soft pretzels, hot dogs from the vendors, scrapple, tomato pie, Reta's water ice,(ice cream) Hoagies, Cheese steaks, scrapple, Cheese teaks, and scrapple. We went to Church on Sunday morning and then we had a cookout with Grandbear's family. It was so nice to see everyone. Here Seth is jumping in to Greg.
Megan taking it easy.
Megan with Colleen. Colleen is Greg's first cousin. Megan just loves her.
Seth eating Tomato pie. He loves it. For the ones who don't know it is pizza crust with a pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese on top and served cold. I love it and so does Seth. Thank you Aunt Mary Jo for bring our favorite.
Seth and Uncle Kevin Chillin out.
Seth had his hair done like Uncle Kevin. Everyone loves Uncle Kevin.
I forgot to tell you that we went and rode the Ducks in Philly. It is an amphibious bus that takes you around a lot of the sight of Philly and then takes you on the Delaware river. We all had these quacker's and yes everyone used them. We had a blast. Megan helping Christina learn to walk. Meg is such a good big cousin.
The Greg O'Donnell family in the pool. The hungry hippo that Megan is riding is the one that she was jumping in with and no one was catching her!
Megan and Grandmom. Megan, Seth, and Abby all had floating bathing suits that Grandbear and Grandmom bought for them. It was cool because they were for girl or boy so Seth was dressed like the rest of them. I think he thought he was big stuff.

Seth joining in on the Y M C A song. Some of the people on the bus were doing the motions to the song while it was playing and Seth was getting into it.
We left Philly and went to TN for a few days. The kids went to Dollywood again. We always have a good time there. I didn't take pics because we were just there a couple of months ago and the rides look the same. The kids did get to ride a real train there. We have never rode the train at Dollywood so that was cool. Since the kids like Thomas it was nice to ride a real train. Anyway, we are home and we have to go back to work. Fun!
