You can just see our house between the trees in the center there. Don't be jealous of our neighborhood. I'm not sure what that huge piece of trash in the street is, but it looks like it could do some serious damage to an unsuspecting driver's tires!
Waiting for the "El".
Penn Dental
Chillin', practicing his walk.
Finger acrobatics on Locust Walk - University of Pennsylvania campus
Luke with his friend Ben.
Doesn't it look like he's snowboarding?
Drexel U., adjacent to UPenn, with downtown Philly in the background.
Tag got sick with a bug on Christmas evening, so the next day he was down with the yuckies. Jim took Luke for a ride on the train to campus and they walked around downtown. Luke went upstairs to his bed after dinner saying, "I'm real tired from such a long day walking around."
Liberty Bell
Yeah, it's the other side that's cracked, or "scratched" as Luke says.
Christmas morning! Santa got the boys some more Legos (how much do I love craigslist??). This picture was taken before Luke discovered that the wrapped box behind him was also filled with Legos.
And this picture was taken after.
I love Christmas morning hair!
We spent three days in Hershey and surrounding areas this week. It was really fun! Hershey has a lot of fun things for kids, including a "factory tour" that wasn't really a tour of the factory (it was like a ride at Epcot that teaches you how chocolate is made and seriously promotes Hershey candies).
It was FREEZING in Hershey. The temperature stayed between 20 and 25 degrees BEFORE the crazy windchill! This picture is my attempt to pose under those circumstances.
Drink this, it will make you feel good.
After the "tour", we meandered through the shelves of Hershey products, and bought a treat. We decided on the best product they make: Twizzlers!
Indian Echo Caverns in Hummelstown, PA right outside Hershey
LOTS of stairs to get down there:
This used to be a huge opening to the caverns. It is believed that Indians used these for food storage since they stay 52 degrees farenheit all year.
Jim did the best he could taking pictures inside. His lens kept fogging up, but he got a few good shots. I highly recommend this tour. It was interesting and beautiful!
Does anyone else see aliens on the cavern walls?
We found a driving tour online that took us through Amish country, several covered bridges, and amazing scenery. We ended up in a tiny town called Lititz. It was quaint and adorable. We ate at a cafe that served tiny portions and we left feeling hungry (and kind of ticked that we spent money for so little food). The atmosphere was nice though.
One of several covered bridges we found, awesome!
Our bad, we should have had some gloves around those skinny little fingers.
Poor Tag froze just walking from the car to Chocolate World. We made sure to bundle him up more the next day, and he was much happier.
"Hershey's Sweet Lights" is a 2-mile drive through a wonderful display of lights. We were provided with glasses that made the glare from the bulbs look like snowflakes.

My favorite is of Luke in front of the liberty bell with the half smile on his face. he is going to be a heart breaker.
Those pictures are wonderful. Loved the ones of Luke outdoors and the cavern. Wil and I actually talked about visiting PA. He's been there for business. Would definitely take the same tour. Have you had a Philly Cheesesteak yet? Yummmm!
Looks like you had a lot of fun. I went to Hersey PA as part of my choir tour when I was a senior in high School. We had a blast ot Hersey park. Rachel
I love all the pictures! It looks like you are having some really fun adventures and good times out there!
