The Twins are back together

My sister and her family came to visit us! I have been counting down the days for months. I haven't seen Ally and her family since August of 2009. Yeah, WAY TOO LONG! They spent an entire week with us. Xavier loved playing with Myla and I loved having lots of girl time. Eric and Tim were awesome during our week of vacation. They cooked and cleaned and helped out with the kids. It was great. The first day they got here it was a little rainy so we took them to the Crayola Factory. Then we spent a day in Philadelphia. You know you've visited Philly too many times when Xavier says "I don't want to see the Liberty Bell again!" The first time it's cool, the fifth time not as exciting. But for Ally and Eric it was their first time and exciting for us to share that with them.

The twins do history. :)

We try to mix it up a little and see at least one new thing each time we go to Philly. This time we walked through China town.

The twins do Philly cheese steaks! Mm mm!

The dads and the kiddos.

Xavier loved having Myla to chum around with the entire time.

Xavier loved having Myla to chum around with. It was so cute how they were holding hands as we walked the streets of Philadelphia.

This is always a favorite stop for the kids. They can run and jump and climb all over life-size game pieces.

Myla's such a cutie pie and is like a little mini Allison.

Even though this is our fifth visit to Philadelphia and we've visited the same sights each time, there is one difference that sets each visit apart from the other, the people we got to share it with. We are definitely experienced tour guides now. So if anyone else wants to visit we've got all the hot spots covered.
